Dr Dart is exactly the type of position. I think everyone wants to have. He is very straightforward. It takes his time to communicate complicated procedures. Well, I’m not looking forward to the surgery. I feel I am in extremely capable hands. I am confident that the outcome will be as positive as possible.

I am in the most capable hands with Dr. Dart. His bedside manner is one of a kind, and his knowledge of sports medicine is superior than any other orthopedist I’ve ever encountered. I would go nowhere else!
