He was very nice and talked through every step of the procedure. He always ensured I was comfortable. I would definitely recommend him for any procedure.

I could not be more pleased with Dr. Dirk’s ‘bedside manner’— or in my case: chair-side manner. After working on my shoulder today to relieve my decades-long left shoulder pain, I will be seeing him again on the 22nd for work on my right knee. A repeat visit says it all.
Thank you, Dr. Dirk!
