Dr. Dorf has operated on me before and my husband as well. He always listens, exams and then comes up with a game plan. We appreciate him.
Great, responsive, and caring!
I saw Dr. Dorf for a hand injury that I had a week prior. We reviewed my x-rays and he asked me questions about the pain. He was very thorough and explained what the injury was and what I can do to help it feel better until it’s fully healed
He is the best in his field! Very personable, caring, and knows what to say to put you at ease.
Thanks for listening and providing the fastest track to quality care
Always explains the options and consults rather than dictates treatment. Great experience as always.
