No nonsense, just the facts! I didn’t appreciate him telling me what I had to do to make everything better and I said how about we do it my way and he said no we’ll do it my way there is no second chance this is it. Do it my way I said OK we’ll do it your way and it’s so far so good. It’s been fantastic. My Achilles tendon is getting better and better. I highly recommend him.
