Didn’t have answers for my questions. Sending me back to a surgeon. Wouldn’t order the imaging I requested to get some answers. My appointment was at 11:40. I didn’t see him till almost 1pm.
He is so nice and he explains things to you.
I was a patient of his for about 7 months and received great care. He answered any questions and listened to my concerns. He was very through and I would highly recommend him.
