I am sure he’s an excellent surgeon, but not at all friendly. He came into my pre op Bay did a couple of things and never made eye contact with me

He is a very focused individual. He was patient as I worked through my questions. His explanations was concise yet complete. His bedside manner is very professional. And yes, he does have a sence of humor and smiles.

Very gracious and told me what I needed to know... my bend wasn't flexible enough and prescribed medicine to help.
The knee replacement seems great but swelling has been a hindrance to effectively doing exercise. However exercise does seem to flush it out and feel better at night. I just need patience to continue it slowly and many times a day.

Efficient, skilled surgeon, and a nice smile! Stellar surgical nurses and anesthesiologist, too. I felt so confident and calm getting my knee replaced this morning. Highly recommend this surgeon if you need a new knee!

Thank you so very much for helping me be able to walk and put weight down on my right knee. I also appreciate how you are protecting others from CPC so no one else has to go through what I did. Thank you for noticing the medical board about CPC malpractice due to negligence of care.
