Extremely nice and very knowledgeable
Great consultation, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease with upcoming procedure.
Very Friendly & Extremely Good Doctor! I’d Highly Recommend!!!
Dr Babb looked at the MRI and X-rays and conducted movement tests and determined that PT would be best 1st then re-evaluate. Did a great job
Dr Babb really listens and truly cares about you getting better. And I’ve not seen a prettier scar than from his surgery. 💯
My appointment was for 1015. I saw Dr Babb at 1130
He was very good and explained everything what was going on . Will be back .
Although the appt said it was with Dr Babb, after waiting 45 minutes past my appt time I saw a PA. He read the mri report to me. Cortisone shots have been mentioned as a possibility at all 3 appointments, but I guess that might still happen sometime? Maybe after I see the specialist I'm being referred to. Disappointing.
Excellent communication and empathy for my injury. Have me options and talked me through them. Very friendly and personable
I've had 3 procedures done by Dr Babb over the past 2-3 years and I couldn't be happier. He gave me hope after my initial appt with him and I am very happy to hear he had a solution to my ailments and not a pain bandaid. Thank you Dr Babb and to your team.
