Very kind and patient individual
Excellent service he took his time with me
On time to point offered up Q&A time
He was rushed and did not seem interested in explaining my condition. He noted, seemingly in-passing that my fracture was healed. He never mentioned the fracture before! I never knew I had a fracture! Where? How? And he was not helpful in recommending therapy exercises specific to my curvature. I would give only one start but he DID manage to look me in the eye once or twice.
