While I got some attention from him...he didn't take the time to answer questions. He had to go on to the next patient & I had to finish with his assistant who had to go get answers for me. While I value his opinion, it didn't seem that he valued mine. He was very rushed.
Listening skills need to improve
Diagnosed and took care of my knee issue right away.
Great listener, knowledgeable, kind, and was very respectful
Clearly explained my condition and advised treatment options available
Time wasted dr was an hr mar to my appointment team was in west valley were extremely rude and non communicable with his schedule . Did not appreciate provider yelling in my face for attention . Assisting nurse has poor behavior and communication and have no common curtesy of patients time or even to communicate property . Did not end up seeing dr . Will never return to the west valley location . Wasted an hour drive and my time
Wonderful, caring, explains the hard and difficult realities of the injury well. Gave us hope as we look to the future.
Professional and knowledgeable! He reviewed MRI and gave me a cortisone shot. I may have to do shoulder surgery in the future.
Thorough,gave hope for saving if not healing
Factual information given; I need time to review the options before I commit to any surgery.
