Kind and a great surgeon
Never introduced himself when he walked in, was arrogant, and didn’t like being questioned about understanding a diagnosis and an MRI report. Arrogant to the point where he stated that I should be thanking him. NEVER will go back to this man! ROC is a great orthopedic office and in 2 decades of being a patient here have I had a negative experience….until this!
Dr Dare has been spot on with his predictions of recovery benchmarks timelines. I’m an engineer with over 30 years of experience in complex systems and I will admit I was skeptical when going through it. His attention to detail even in today’s final post op (for one ) has been amazing to include probably the most important part - the surgery itself and results.
Friendly
Dr. Dare is awesome. Great surgeon and doc.
Very Professional yet personable as well. He was very perspective on my injury and move swiftly to address my issues. I was very pleased with Dr. Dare and staff.
Dr Dare explained my shoulder situation very well and had a game plan for me which was greatly appreciated. I like the fact that he allowed me the time to explain what triggered the injury etc.
I appreciate the bedside manner I was treated from Dr. Dare. I had an appointment Friday with him at the Garner site at 11 am. However, for some reason I did not get seen before he left. Some mix-up. My preference is the Edward Mills site.
He had the perfect blend of professionalism and kindness. I left feeling completely informed, confident, and trusting.
Excellent explanation and treatment plan laid out nicely.
