Best surgeon there is!
Always friendly and provides excellent care. Attentive and listens to all patient issues.
Absolutely the best care I have ever received! In every aspect from compassion, to the smallest of details; he will make sure you will have all of the knowledge and understanding of your situation along with the confidence to feel safe and secure. He is great.
Felt rushed. My case may be very typical for him but it is my situation and would have appreciated more information. If I hadn’t asked for a review of what he shared, it would have been spoken once and he was ready to move on to next.
Showed X-rays and explained
Very impressive. I felt cared for and safe. I was tardy due to the move and Iwas so happy he accepted me in for the initial meeting
He seemed to grasp that I was in severe pain (lower back). That was a very bad day for me.
Dr. Larson was very courteous and explained my medical diagnosis in detail. He developed my medical plan and discussed it with me. He ensured that he answered all my questions before we concluded the appointment.
Looking forward to working with him. He made me feel relaxed and explained my X-rays very well!! I feel he's trustworthy!! Still dispise the U of I though!!
Good guy, goes over issues, and makes coherent suggestions for treatment. I have confidence in Evan. Gary Fethke
