My surgery went well, very pleased. Knee feels great. Always very short wait time in the office. Dr. James has a fabulous bedside manner!
Very friendly and helped me understand my hip injury
Great listener! He understands the issues I’m dealing with and has a plan to help.
Great team!!!
He was excellent. By day 2 I was having minimal pain, and it was no worse on day 4.
He and his team were fantastic.
Dr. James gave very clear explanations of Tony’s shoulder injury and was patient with questions we had.
I never saw him even after waiting for over 50 minutes. I drove an hour to get to this appointment just to disappointed that he didn’t even step in the room and tell me he was running behind.
My shoulder is like new again! Thanks!
He's the best
