Very dismissive. I did not appreciate the lack of empathy and follow up. I will be seeking a second opinion. I’m sure he is a great surgeon however “bedside manner” is seriously lacking.

He makes you feel like he is sincerely concerned in your issue and advises with caution. He performed surgery on my left rotary cuff in 2024 and I feel confident that my upcoming surgery on my right rotary cuff will be a success as well.

Most fantastic surgeon! Not only did the procedure go extremely well, his after-care concerns were above and beyond. He listens to all concerns and responds effectively.
