What an engaging, caring physician! Welcoming and warm, all the details of my care were covered and explained in a very specific fashion. I’d score him as a 5 plus if that were possible.

Dr Bonner has the best bed side manner and I love how he considered my concerns in identifying my path to strengthening the muscles around my knee instead of going right to surgery. He’s the best in the business.
