Excellent for sure! Dr. Knapp very polite, caring and knowledgeable. Took the time to explain everything completely and made sure I didn't leave my appointment without knowing anything. I highly recommend Dr. Knapp for anyone who may be on the fence about having treatment!
Dr. Knapp is a wonderful doctor. He is compassionate and caring. With the problems I had, he was there, listening and caring. I feel he literally saved my life. I would recommend him to anyone who needs this type of care.
He explained all my options ( not that I liked any of them). lol. I decided on the Cortizone shot. He said John was very good at giving it. I might feel some pressure but I should be ok.
He took the time to explain my progress and answer any questions or concerns I had. I didn’t feel rushed.
Outstanding meeting! Dr. Knapp explained everything in great detail! Will highly recommend Dr. Knapp to any of my friends that might need a new hip.
Dr. Knapp, even at the end of a busy day, took all the time needed to give me all the necessary testing and physical examination to provide the most accurate. He then spent time to discuss the procedure adequately. Dr. Knapp is highly educated and has extensive clinical training from one of the best residencies in the country located in NYC. Dr. Knapp is personable and will answer all your questions as well as address your concerns.
