Dr. Dart was knowledgeable and helped ease this mama heart. My daughter has had chronic shoulder pain for a year now. We had seen another ortho who we left with more questions than answers from. Dr. Dart was who we went to for a second opinion.
He took the time to actually sit down, show us her images, explain what we were seeing, and help us understand. Very thankful we were referred his way. Thank you!!
