Very nice doctor makes you feel very comfortable and safe.Good experience. . THANKS
Good bedside manner. He seems to be knowledgeable and caring.
Fabulous Dr. He's helped me more than any other dr I've been to with my shoulder! Highly recommend!!
Dr. Pahl is very professional and discussed, in detail, the different options for the shoulder joint replacement. Due to scheduling conflicts I opted for the shoulder shot to reduce the pain. We discussed having the procedure started in October 2025. Brent Foley
