I think if I keep working with dr truelove she will get the hang of orthopedics lol
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Truelove; extremely competent...she always explains, meticulously, the diagnosis, treatment and the way ahead.
The doctors are great! They don't need to be monitored.
Quick Concise Engaging AWESOME DOC!
Elizabeth was very knowledgeable and very caring, and also very attentive to what I wanted to do going forward, and not just put something out there for me to just accept as this is what we recommend so we are going to do what we want to do. It was nice being given the full run down of options and were allowed to choose for myself of which way to go. Thank you Elizabeth for you compassion.
I didn't even wait 5 minutes. She was prompt knowledgeable and so sweet. Highly recommend!
Super good, very quick
A joy to work with
Dr Truelove was very thorough in her assessment and provided me with a few stretches to do as well as information about my potential condition. I very much appreciated receiving specific stretches to use. My visit with her validated some of my own efforts to deal with my pain and discomfort. Our visit was very quick. She spoke very quickly. The visit felt rushed, like a whirlwind visit. I’m sure her plate is full. However, she did seem very competent and did leave me with reassurance and next steps. She did indicate I could call back if my conditions worsened. I left very comfortable with the recommendations to move forward . Thank you.
Elizabeth was very thorough in her explanations and provided me with follow up information as well. She was very pleasant to deal with and made me feel comfortable.
