What a nice person and excellent surgeon. During the Tenex procedure of my right hip tendon, he asked several times how I was doing and took a few breaks in between to make sure I was ok. We spoke during the procedure and his calm demeanor was very assuring. The procedure did not take long and I recommend him and his staff to anyone looking for relief from tendon pain.
