Dr Jain and his staff are all kind and proficient. I didnt wait long at all and I felt heard.I wasn't pressured into surgery and felt he understood my need to wait awhile longer and on the meantime administered a cortisone shot, which by the way was very gentle.Its this kind of compassion and good energy from him and his staff that is going to keep me trusting in them and coming back... thank you
In my opinion doctor Jain is one of if not the best orthopedic surgeon in Indiana!
All facets of future surgery explained succinctly and completely.
Successful surgery, nearly full recovery after 3 months
Too long of a wait before being seen. 1 hr after my scheduled time I finally got called back
Awesome Doctor I’m glad I went to him
He’s just a great doctor. He’s a surgeon who has operated on me and various family members so when he tells me why I’m having issues and to treat them the way I have been it’s a breath of fresh air. He explained why additional surgery or steroids would not be beneficial I believe him.
Great Doctor and team.
Dr Jain was excellent
Waited over 1 hour. Then never seen the Dr. only his asst. which I did not appreciate.
