Very knowledgeable and came up with a plan. I feel very good about my choice to work with him. Also, his office was able to schedule me in as soon as as possible, and I am most appreciative of that.

I was so happy to have met him. I can't believe my luck because I was getting so depressed about my knee pain. He was so kind, patient, and encouraging, and I will definitely be following through with him when I need the surgery .
