Great experience. Thanks Dr. Dart.
Listened to me and then went over very thoroughly in terms I could understand exactly what my X-rays showed and what possibly could be causing my pain.Kind and considerate “bedside manner.” Thanks Dr. Dart

Exception Doctor with great chair side/ bedside manner. He diagnosed and made recommendations with options. I will be back to see him for sure!
Today was my 2nd encounter with him. First he repaired my left rotator cuff and today I met with him to discuss replacing my right shoulder. I am confident in his skills and ability due to the successful repair of the left. Dr. Dart makes you feel warm when you’re conversing with him. I highly recommend him
