He’s the best Otho doctor I have seen, and I’ve been to several. He listens, explains, and together discuss and make the plan of action. I always feel like I’m the important person in the room, not the other way around. I would recommend Dr. Dart to anyone in need of his expertise.

I met with Dr. Dart yesterday to discuss repairing my torn quadriceps tendon. He spent considerable time with me and I feel confident he will do a great job with the repair next week. He was very personable and knowledgeable. His staff was great as well.
