She spent a great deal of time with us. She spoke directly to our daughter, focusing not just on her injury, but her overall wellbeing. Her approach resonated with our teen daughter, and I know my daughter will heed her advice.
Dr Long did surgery on my shoulder to address pain in my rotator cuff and did a great job relieving my soreness. She explained everything clearly, reviewed the x-rays with me, and was open to answer any questions and concerns.
Dr. Long was reassuring in my recovery, answered my questions, and forwarded her recommendations to PT.
Dr.Long is always helpful with answering my questions.
I was here for an assessment on my knees and she couldn’t possibly do a thorough one with only looking at X-rays. I knew nothing was broken and I have arthritis-nothing new there. So she didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know.
I had a pleasant time at my appointment with Dr Long. She provided me with all the information I needed and options. I like her expertise and knowledge. I will continue to see her and no one else Thank you Dr Long
Dr Long is very thorough in explaining diagnosis and options. I was extremely impressed. In the future if my issue gets worse, I will definitely go back to her.
Very professional!
She was very thorough
She was friendly, and explained things well.
