He explained procedure although I feel he rushes the visits causing me to forget what i want to ask. Otherwise I’m very satisfied with him and he is very professional.

Personable good listener, he really did an excellent job on my shoulder. It did all take awhile in the healing process, but one needs to have patience. He’s the best shoulder doctor you can have.
