I didn't see the doctor which I was set to see him, but I saw his associate. He was very good. I've only seen the doc once. The phone system at the main office is tarrible.

I am 3 weeks out from my knee replacement surgery. The first week was tough but things are definitely getting better.
I saw Ryan yesterday and he is very good to work with. I could ask questions and he answered them without me feeling like a dummy. So please give him a high 5 too.
