Wry upfront and extremely professional. He doesn’t mince words and gets straight to the point. What more could you ask from a Doctor. Definitely a class act.

Professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! I saw Dr. Starr after an X-ray today in his office. He came in and explained that it was arthritis flared up in my thumb and hand. He gave me a steroid shot, put me in a comfortable brace and sent me home.
