Top of the line surgeon here. Wonderful outcome.
Rushed
Always have to wait at least 45 mins or more even if I'm the first appointment.
In formative and professional
Great job he does
Changed Dr's to long a wait 2 1/2 hrs is how long I waited
Very Knowledgeable
He did exactly what needed to be done for my well-being. He did not wait for another referral when I was sitting there and he went ahead and done both x-rays and that’s what should’ve been done. I swear I’d give him a very high rating.
Although he was unable to make my appointment due to a surgery he did see me the next day and apologized for the previous appointment, My problems were addressed and explained to me professionally.
Never saw the doctor. Appointment was at 10am. My daughter and I waited over an hour. No one let us know what was going on. We eventually left.
