Joe is very professional and nice as always
Very busy but not organized with the correct person that I need to see. I saw the doctor and got more exrays. It was explained to me I have to see Dr Sowa. Perhaps that was the doctor in which I should have been assigned to. This problem happened over a week ago. And of course PT was recommended. Well I have been involved with sports, various other activities and I know when there is a problem. I’ve have had this body for 70 years and know there is a problem above the PT expertise. I have no range in my fingers, no gripping ability and a clicking and rotating feeling when the knuckles move. Sorry but I’m disappointed with the passing the buck process. Now I have to wait an ADDITIONAL 2 weeks to have it looked at by Dr Sowa and God knows how long after that for a resolution. Not a happy camper at all!!
Always a good visit. Easy to talk to and always helpful.
Dr did a great job with my issues from a fall on my knee and residual injury. He was very precise in what he saw and needed to do and did it efficiently and when I asked questions he explained and was very clear in his explanations and actions... Very good experience!
He explained everything and was very nice.
Everyone was very friendly and informative about my care and plan forward. I have been a patient on and off since the late 80’s. Dr Straight took the time to answer my questions and I was pleased with him. The only issue was with scheduling. I asked to see a hand specialist and I didn’t see a hand surgeon. I was clear about my desire to see a physician about this new issue. There should be more training for the call center so appointments can be expedited to the right physician.
Very nice doctor, he knows very well what’s doing. Very nice and talented.
Great Doctor!
