I was very satisfied, he didn't push surgery. That is rare.

He is truly caring and compassionate. He listens without rushing you out. He is honest about what’s wrong, and what will work to help fix the problem, as well as what won’t! His solutions to my problems haven’t been a quick bandaid fix. After thoroughly discussing the pros and cons of any solution, he helps us choose the one that best suits my personal needs on a schedule that works for me. As a caregiver for my husband, this has been invaluable to my achieving better health and still being able to care for my husband.

He’s great summarize what was going on with me identified the fact that we do not need to have multiple tests for no reasons at all. Finally, a doctor that understands you don’t need every test in the world to get results.

Outstanding doctor, very caring, very thorough made me feel that I could come back to him and have my other hip done. So that's what
I'm going to do!

First impression, but he seemed to be very knowledgeable and compassionate. Went in for "shoulder troubles" and he took one look at me and told me it's more than likely my neck, not my shoulder. Ran some hands on tests to back the assumption and nailed it. It's a relief to find someone who cares about there work anymore instead of just wasting your time. I think this is the place to go.
