Great surgeon and funny
Very knowledge!
Great Dr. Explained everything to me really well so then I could understand what he was saying
My concerns were discussed and options forward moving forward with treatment clearly presented. I felt listened to and am pleased with follow up plans.
I appreciated his honesty and suggestions on alternatives to pain medication.
Briefly met and doctor suggested injection to bursa for pain relief.
Dr McEnaftarfer gave me a very thorough and comprehensive analysis of my situation. I felt very confident when I left his office knowing I had all the Information I needed to make the best possible decisions for myself moving forward.
Very good, right to the point. Explains all options!
I got the feeling I was a bother in his day
Dismissive, acted like he didnt want to take my case, treated me like I was lying to him, never let me say anything.
