Professional
Wasn’t overly happy with his “bedside manner” and really gave no advice for my extremely sore shoulder. Was basically chastised for not bringing other doctors reports when I was never asked too. Was basically told do therapy which I have been doing for months. No other suggestions, no other follow up and no other advice.
Very professional, on time and I felt like I was headed.
First time seeing this doctor, he gave me a thorough examination and a good explanation of what was going on with my knee. I appreciated his straightforward approach.
He provided a clear and understandable diagnosis of my problem. He then gave me a road map for next steps.
Great relief and friendly service.
Rude and condescending. Don't need alot of fluffy chatter from my docs but expect clarification, respect & politeness. I could not believe his lack of personality or even the slightest indication of patient care when respondeding to my questions regarding my fracture & next steps. I love OrthoArizona but will not return to this Dr. If he was my first experience with them, I would jot be a returning patient at all. I was warned about hom by another patient but choose to form my own opinion, recognizing that person may need a different level of care.. but they were spot on.
Prompt, friendly, informative
He gave a clear explanation of medical scans and the options for continuing care.
He did not catch that I had a frayed medial menicus. He examination process was not adequate.
