It was good to see the doctor again, however, under a healthier conditions would’ve been better. :). Once again Dr. Dart didn’t disappoint me and my wife when we got his opinion on my broken shoulder and got me set up for surgery in no time flat, man. He’ll get me going again. Although I’m sure all staff and doctors are good, My wife and I believe we Lucked out when we got Doctor Dart. I started off with another doctor some time ago, but his schedule was to full, so we were referred to Dr. Dart. He’s a pretty good guy I think. :)
