Dr. Truelove made me feel very comfortable and confident about her ability to help me with my broken bones in my hand. She chose the proper method to follow for me to see results and heal properly.
She is attentive, observant and thorough at screening for proper assessment of condition. Offers recommendations for treatment. Can’t give a five, since I have not had any surgery done.
