Great first visit. Talks about all options rather than just going directly for surgery. Didn’t feel like I was just another cog on the wheel
Everything you’d like in a doctor. Professional, knowledgeable, and patient in answering questions.
Very impressed with bed side manner! Knowledgeable, kind, highly recommend him!
Doctor is not willing to spend any time answering basic questions. Wants to avoid interfacing with patients. Lack of basic clarity slowed down my recovery, surge was successful but it is a bad sign to feel disappointed every time needed to see the doctor. At the end it felt like a surgery mill, one after another, rather than quality care.
Did a great job on my knee!
Did not address my concern
Nice, explained everything
The doctor presented himself as very confident and competent in his field, so it was reassuring to hear his diagnosis.
Great patient care. Always has great suggestions on how to treat or remedy hurting or injured areas.
Always professional, listens, very knowledgeable. Trust him completely
