Dr.James explained my knee condition to me in very logical terms that clearly explained the cause of the condition and the options for care and treatment. Unfortunately for me , the best solution will be surgery sometime in the future but all of the pro and cons were clearly stated in a manner that was easy to visualize.

Dr James is the best! From the initial consultation, my needed surgery, to my 6 month post op visit he has provided me with the best care possible. He is always patient focused, listening and answering any questions I had to give me the confidence I needed through the surgery, rehab & recovery, and back to my normal activities.
