Not personable at all. Did not appear like he was having a good day. Super short, no emotion almost condescending
Efficient, knowledgeable and decisive. No nonsense approach to diagnosis and treatment. Lack of empathy, care for the human side of medicine.
If I could give zero stars I would. The guy is a hack job of a doctor.
Very nice and very informative.
Great visit..caring doctor
Very personable, and explained diagnosis and treatments thoroughly.
He took the time to explain everything to me. He was very knowledgeable and effectively educated me about my break. Poor doctor was probably so frustrated with me but he was very patient.
Very professional and kind.
Great doctor who really cares!
Excellent surgeon, friendly, eager to help, easy to talk with.
