He’s the best
Feb-2025
I'm over 85 years old and he is one of the best doctors that I have ever had. He explains conditions in terms I can understand. The knee replacement has worked very well.
Feb-2025
He replaced my right hip 13 years ago, it’s still working. Having problems with the left, didn’t hesitate to visit him again and their practice. We are formulating a plan for my current hip issue. I feel confident there will be a resolution. Sentara is my health care choice.
