I didn't see Espinoza but I saw Chris Travis and he was great. After chatting and deciding an unloader brace was needed for my left knee the brace guy came him (didn't catch his name). The brace guy was borderline condescending and offensive. When telling him I was familiar with unloaders as I wear one on my right knee, he told me the brace for my right knee is for "overweight women", doubted the fact I even have an unloader brace (i've had unloader for 8 years), and essentially contradicted everything I have been told by Mike in the Edmond office. Everything down the velcro or clips on unloader brace straps I walked out of the office feeling frustrated and confused about whether or not he ordered the best option brace for my left knee or just "what he orders for everyone", and also confused on whether or not I have the right brace for my right kneewhich was just ordered through McBride Edmond in January.
Listened to my concerns and gave me good information to use in my current situation.
Very detailed.
He breaks everything down from start to finish. Answers all my questions, asks about my goals and plans to give me the best possible outcome.
