Really like that he takes time to talk thru my care.
Scott was great. Very professional , listens, good eye contact knowledgeable. The Feng Shui of the Seagate office is awful. You are a quality organization with capital. I am not trying to be facetious but there are probably parole offices with better interior decorators. The lighting is poor, the colors are dark and dreary, the televisions did not work and it was cold. NOT the kind of image I think you want to project to the public in a sports medicine office. Just take a look for yourself. Again, High praise for Dr. Dart , think about what you are projecting with your color schemes and interior decorating. Dr Ben Gottschalk
Great bedside manner.
Dr. Dart made me feel at ease, he answered all my questions, and he spent the time with me that was needed, not rushed.
Dr. Dart always takes the time to answer all your questions and the appointment never feels rushed
Waiting time was minimal and Dr.Dart provided me with a good examination. He explained in detail all my options and I am happy to have him as my doctor..
Very personable. Confident in plan of action. Start in a few days for shot and PT. I’m confident all will go well cause …gettin old ain’t for sissy’s
Dr. Dart is an expert. He was able to diagnose & tend to serious issues I had with my hip. I'm very grateful for his kindness, knowledge & his skills.
He was very nice and knowledgeable about my issue. He was straightforward and we came up with a solution to help my pain.
