I did feel a little rushed.
Dr Handling ,is very professional and caring. The way He addressed my concerns I felt I’m in good hands
Very informative
very kind
Love dr handling
Dr. Handling is top-notched. He’s very professional knowledgeable and highly skilled. He listens and explains in clear terms.
Greeted me very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Referenced my previous visit and how things have been since, I felt cared about having looked at my file. Listened to my concerns. Examined my shoulder and explained to me what he believe the prognosis is and his initial attempt less invasive to try first was an injection I had previously that did work. And believed that would help again since I did have range of motion just ongoing soreness as I use it due to inflammation, muscle punching nerve. Then offered PT which I did follow up with scheduling. Took the time to also give me locations for PT that near his office or near my home noticing I lived 30-45 min away. It is very nice to have that home town Dr feeling of care experience!
Personable and professional. Takes the time to listen to your health concerns and suggest treatment options.
Explaining issues and planning of repairs. Rehab schedule
A little brisk, felt a little rushed.
