Jeff was clear and concise in his explanation of the TSR process, risks, and benefits. In particular I appreciated his holistic perspective on my goal of returning to sports and full function.
Very helpful very knowledgeable, took the time to answer the questions clearly.
Answered all of my questions and was very pleasant and understanding
Very nice answers all my questions
Clear, professional and friendly guidance.
He twisted my injured knee, and when I shouted, he said I “hurt” his ears and left the room. So he hurt me physically AND emotionally. Pass. Hard pass.
Amazing place and doctor
Always takes care of me and guides me to the best treatment.
Very patient and explains everything. Very good at what he does.
