My family member had surgery and I was taken to a small conference room for him to come discuss my mom’s surgery. I waited an hour. He forgot to come and speak with me and I was taken to recovery so another family could have the room for Dr. James to talk to them! He popped in for less than a minute in her recovery bay and just said everything went good. I have all these pictures he took that he was supposed to talk to me about but didn’t and probably won’t at follow up because everybody is so rushed to get in and out.
Excellent communicator/communications. Perfect details.
Very nice person, caring,and great communicator. Highly recommend.
Answer all questions
Dr James took his time with me and explained everything I needed. He made sure I completely understand the pre-op, operative and post-op process and what I needed upon discharge. I was very happy with the procedure and things have gone better than expected since I've been home.
Highest regards for Doctor James as he has been providing care for my shoulder since April, 2024 through rotator cuff repair, extensive debridement and subpectoral tenodesis surgery in January, 2025.He is very thorough with his examination, recommendations and follow up.
Dr. James is very personable, I highly recommend! He truly takes the time to listen to your concerns and is so easy to understand when he explains treatment options, review of x-rays, etc. I leave always feeling well taken care of.
Pleasant and professional
Took the time to listen to my concerns. Very down to earth!
Dr. James has been fantastic in all of our meetings. He set expectations and answered all questions thoroughly. Surgery went great and postoperative pain has been minimal. I highly recommend Dr. James.
