Very good doctor who made me feel comfortable with the outcome of the surgery
Dr Basamania is the most intelligent and up-to-date orthopedic doctor. He has operated on both my shoulders and replaced my elbow [broken in 5 places]. All surgeries were successful and recovery was rapid and easy.
Friendly and very knowledgeable.
There is nobody better on every level than Dr. Basamania.
