Didn’t feel rushed and answered all my questions. I felt understood and cared about.
A ONE Dr. Thanks to him I'm working my shoulder and back to quilting.
I appreciate Dr. Dart’s honesty, delivering news I didn’t want to hear. He is personable and explains in clear terms the answers to questions. He offers advice and lets the patient make the decision. He’s a great surgeon, wouldn’t hesitate recommending him!
Nice friendly straightforward gives answers I'm happy with my visit
Dr Dart has been genuinely concerned for my quality of life leading up to and after surgery.
Very knowledgeable, thorough, and helpful! Couldn’t be any happier with his approach. The industry needs more Darts!
Dr. Dart performed surgery on my rotator cuff and bicep. Personable and explains procedures well. Not in a rush. Would have him do surgery again, if I needed it. Only issue, wait times to be seen in the office are long.
His explanations of the medical issues and recovery provide realistic outcomes and is reassuring when needed . If he is late with the appointment he always explains and provides a sense of respect for a patients time.
Very personable and willing to talk about all options available for treatment. Excellent physician and person.
Knowledgeable, personable - fantastic work!
