Compassionate doctor with a sense of humor and genuine interest in my comfort and understanding of any procedure expected.
Great experience, right to the point and explained options. Complete understanding of future risk and treatment options.
Great individual. Very approachable and helps you understand your injury.
Oh my gosh. So grateful to have met Dr. Meisel. Thank you for kind, compassionate, knowledgeable care during a first encounter. It’s so appreciated!
Great guy, and very thorough physician. Another doctor told me I had an "impingement" in my shoulder. After a thorough examination, Dr Meisel told me that he thinks I have a torn labrum, and possibly something with my upper rotator. He's going to request an MRI, which the last doctor didn't even think about doing. I won't be going to anybody else, again.
Dr. Meisel is awesome! Takes his time and is very thorough!
Dr Adam was great. He made sure that I understood what was going on and made me aware of the different things that could assist me in my recovery.
Explained everything very well! Was very approachable and answered all questions that we had.
