Appreciate his expertise!
Great bedside manner. Explains how things are going to take place. Thank you
Very professional and timely
Easy to talk to and can relate information into easy to understand words.
Helpful, friendly...would.recommend
He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and answered my questions. He didn't was very patient in answering.
When a patient is being treated for a crush injury to their hand and was placed in a brace with a no use of hand restriction for 5 months it shouldn’t be difficult to determine if that restriction results in the limited use of the affected arm and shoulder of the injured hand, especially when the patient notifies you of the discomfort during their first appointment with you. Rather than call DOL worker’s compensation to find out what narrative they need from you in order to add the shoulder for treatment, you decide to return the patient to work with no limitations knowing the patient has problems with their shoulder that your physical therapy assistant has documented in every physical therapy session for 6 weeks. You didn’t even conduct an examination of the wrist/shoulder or ask what issues remain. This is the worst care by a physician I have ever received.
takes time with patient and listens
Pleasant, gets to the point, not a long wait
Very nice job on my wrist reconstruction. Everything worked out as he indicated they would. Very pleased with the outcome come off the surgery.
