Very happy he is still with the team. He has operated on my issues a few times and always has had my concerns covered

He's a great listener and a very sympathetic physician. His diagnosis and course of action was very clear. If I have knee problems again, I'm certainly going to ask for him again.

I felt like this Dr. was full of hot air. Yes, the medical knowledge was there you could clearly tell he very well, could of been a rock star ortho Dr. in his prime but he’s well past and it’s evident.. He looked so bored sitting so far away it was difficult to open up too someone presenting such a lax nonchalant attitude.. very weird.. He was full of “ facts” that made sense but my thought was, if I’m here, with you, a specialist then I’ve done the necessary steps prior to this appt.. I got absolutely nothing out of this visit but a copay and a script of Motrin.. This is just my honest experience.. it sucked .
