Dr Preuss is very professional and thorough. He saw my daughter for a soccer injury. He listened and we didn't feel rushed. He took his time and explained everything very well. I highly recommend him.

I was hoping he addressed the Bakers cysr6in the back of my right knee. Just concentrated on PT but the cyst would remain? Otherwise, knowledgeable and thorough.
