Absolutely fantastic! He answered every question and has a calm and reassuring demeanor.
He does a great job!
Knowledgeable, understanding and very efficient
Very patient and explained thoroughly all my opinions. Very happy
The best of the best. AAA +++
He saved my knee, my mobility, my independence I could not be happier with this doctor or this practice!
Wait time was less than 5 minutes in waiting room as well as treatment room. DR.Handling is knowledgeable and respectful. He has done a previous surgery and I'm completely confident in his care.
This doctor talked too fast for me and seems like he was in a rush. Dr. Handling told me to give him a moment left out the room and never came back instead his clinical assistance not really sure of her title came in and handed me a physical therapy referral. The dr was already with another patient. It’s a no for me I will not see this Dr again.
Dr Handling and staff have always treated me like I was Michael Jordan Tony Carney
Great dr and staff
