Today (7/19/24) was my first visit with Dr Head. He took his time explaining to me what he thought was the best way to handle my situation. He let me ask questions and the answers he gave me were explained to me very thoroughly. He genuinely seemed concerned and wanted to do everything possible to help me with my situation. I have read many reviews about him and they are were very good. His bedside manner is the best!!! I would recommend him to anyone else who needs help in his area of expertise. I pray that he will be able to help me and alleviate the pain that I am experiencing. Dr. Head is a great orthopedic surgeon.
