We haven't seen him enough to form a solid opinion. Out of two visits, we've seen him maybe a total of 10 minutes. Also, I would prefer for him to review the actual xray with the patient so we can see what is going on too. Every ortho dr I've seen in the past has done that but not here. It makes the patient feel like it's too much trouble for him to take the extra time to show it to us. He just rushes in and out and we just have to take his word on what the xray may have looked like. Hoping that will change whenever we see him again.
