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
Awesome, Dr. Handling. Exceptional service and outstanding doctor.
Answered all my questions. I highly recommend.
Great doctor!!
Wonderful visit. Feel much better
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.
