Very kind and thorough. Took time to explain my husband’s issues and offered several suggestion for possible help. X Ray was explained. Decisions to be decided.

Very professional. Took adequate time with me explaining all my options for my broken wrist. Checked in on my procedure for my wrist brace and asked if I had any additional questions, which I really appreciated because it seems after the doctor leaves the room I always remember a question or two I forgot to ask.
