I haven’t seen him but 1 time since ankle/foot surgery and the incision was grossly infected. He sent me to a podiatrist in the practice to try and heal the infection. 5 weeks later my ankle is improving but still has a 1.25 inch x 1/2 inch opening. I set a follow up appointment with the surgeon at his request. I was later called and asked to either move my appointment up or reschedule for another day as the surgeon has to leave early. I chose to come in earlier at the time they requested, but he did not see me because he was out of the office. I saw the PA instead, which I have the greatest respect for. Jodi has been there even during a holiday weekend and gave me her text number to reach her. She even assisted me with refilling prescriptions when she was on vacation. He should be working for her!!!! I have never experienced treatment like this before from a physician. I will not return to him for any new surgical procedures.
Nice staff
The best
