Very personable and conversational
Very competent and puts you at ease during the visit.
Compassionate listener. Does not push surgery. Encourages you to make decisions for your own health.
Listened to what was troubling me.
Didn’t feel I was really listened to
Dr. Driscoll was knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. In one efficient visit x-rays were taken the consult was done and I received an injection treatment. All my questions were answered in the appointment felt unrushed.
I have trouble communicating with Dr. Driscoll. He talks very fast and goes off onto tangents that have no relationship to the medical discussion. He’s a very nice man and I’m sure he’s a good doctor, but I have trouble in the appointments. He also uses profanity. Which I do not appreciate.
Did a very thorough job and explained all my options very clearly
I appreciate Dr Driscoll his ability to listen to his patient. It gives him insights into the patient’s whole health.
Outstanding!!
