He's a great demeanor.
The staff seemed cold and unfriendly.
After being in pain for several months and jumping through hoops to get an answer and help . I was finally referred to a so called spine specialist.Dr, M. Trainor After waiung in the inter office for over 1 hour I was told the great specialist was running 1 and 1/2 late and so he sent his PA to talk to me, and it was clear he had not read my file or had anything more to tell met then b4, he proceeded to ask me the same ? the assistant and dr G Morris had asked me about a month go who said he needed to refer me for a spine specialist after I had a mri . His staff knew when I got to the ofc that he was running behind schedule , I should have been given the opportunity to reschedule instead of stuck in a room to just wait. The worst service ever and I will never return to that office again. If i could give you a less than 1 rating I would. Please do not contact me, and if my insurance is billed for seeing this doctor I will send an offical complaint to them and to medicare,
Great meeting with Dr Trainor, he spent all the time going over my symptoms and answered all my options that we could explore.
Always very caring. But wait time is usually long. I know he's at the computer gathering any info on you so he's on top of any problem or information he may need...so I appreciate that alot. Great job. 👍
I really appreciate how things were explained to me.
Professional but easy to talk to and understand. Answers all questions, has assistants to help and appointments are usually on time.
Excellent Dr
His tech,Brett, is an amazing young man. So gentle and patient. I’m very privileged that he’s taking care of my knees!
Always great to see the doctor thank you
