He's the first doctor to talk through the MRIs, so that's nice. For the tratment though, I feel like it's extremely unlikely for a tendon to magically reattach to a bone and the only treatment is to wait it out and hope it gets better. If it doesn't get better (and I doubt it will), I get to pay insurance another 3 grand in deductibles - if surgery becomes the plan.

The most professional and competent orthopedic surgeon I know. Of twelve surgeries with 11 doctors, Dr James performed two and is by far the very best.
