Dr Dorf was thorough in his explanation of the MRI. He did not rush the visit and answered all my questions
Not only did he take great care of me two other people in the community I talked to had nothing but great things to say.
Great doctor easy to talk to. Tells it like it is- I had some hand issues from arthritis and he basically told me what he could do and what wasn’t going to work. I liked that
The best!
