Amazing expertise and professionalism
Prepping for 2nd surgery. Worked through details and scheduled
Excellent surgeon. Extremely knowledgable, experienced and thourough.
Professional & excellence operations.
Dismissive, rude, and rushed. Told me all my options but didn’t explain the pros/cons of each and when I tried to ask questions/get more details about my options or ask about interventions/outcomes for people with similar issues, he said “no I’m not doing that, I’m not making the decision for you. I gave you your options, you have to decide.” Might be more interested in your case if you’re a surgical candidate, but didn’t seem interested in the non-interventional sport medicine side of things to help me address my knee pain that is non-surgical.
