Informative, efficient and practical approach to sports injury. Medu al options clearly explained and parents and child interests were listened to and taken into account in final medical recommendation.
Listened to my issues and then explained what the treatments would be.
Very prompt, exceptionally pleasant, explained everything well.
Gave me the proper respect and explained everything in perfect detail without being condescending.
He provided an explanation about my condition and he was such a pleasant person.
Dr Handling handled my injury with great care and thought. His focus was on long term results for my shoulder.
He is very caring, reassuring and knowledgeable. He has helped my problem with each visit
Dr. Handling has a very nice bedside Manner. He made sure my son and I understood everything that was going on and what to expect for his surgery. And his staff is very pleasant and nice to talk to.
Friendly but professional. Definitely knows his stuff.
I have had great visits with Dr. Handling. He listens to what I have to say and gives me excellent advice regarding my options for treatment.
