Excellent patient rapport. Dr. Michaelson listens well and responds with supportive solutions. He did my first knee replacement and now that I need surgery for my other knee, I wouldn’t think of having anyone but him do the operation.
Very good discussion on my shoulder issues, very pleasant to talk with
Waited an hour before I saw dr.
