Great Dr. With the highest level of bed side manners. Very compassionate with her patients.
Excellent person and Surgeon!
Dr Mike is Awesome he explained everything in detail! He is a very genuine doctor!
Another great experience. Dr Trainor gave me treatment options.
Very polite and knowledgeable
I have always had an excellent experience in the office. Dr. Trainor has always listened to my concerns and spoke to me in clear concise language that is easy for a non-medical person to understand. Gives options for therapy and will revise if needed when there is a medication sensitivity.
Dr. Michael Trainor is a very professional & comforting surgeon. Prior to my surgery, he took the time to explain to me the step-by-step procedure process which gave me confidence in him & he also was very comforting in reassuring me I’d be cared for during the whole process. Thank you Dr. Mike, you’re beyond the best!
Great doctor. Didn’t feel rushed at all (in a very busy office!). Sensitive to the patient’s ideas on their own treatment and knows his stuff. Highly recommended.
He listens and remembers and doesn’t rush into surgery. He’s great!!
He listens to you and let's you ask questions. Good be
