Excellent listening skills. Very informative on what's going on with my bursitis.
Very kind, always listens and you never feel rushed. Awesome surgeon.
Very compassionate doctor. Listens to you. Would recommend. Office staff is very nice.
He took his time and made sure all my questions were answered. Very skilled at giving knee injections. Injections hardly hurt.
Dr. P and Amy both very helpful to me. Dr. P. Took his time, answered all my questions and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new ortho dr.
Great info from him. Professional staff pleasant
He is was so great
He was very thorough and professional
Dr P is the absolute best. He did both of my knees in 2021. Thanks to him and the PT staff (especially Darlene) I had a total recovery with no complications. Now I can walk like a normal person and climb stairs without problems. Thanks to the whole for helping me to get my life back.
Always punctual professional and friendly
