He was friendly, informative & wasn’ t afraid to joke around with us. I feel much better prepared to make a wiser decision .

He was nice but told me my foot wasn’t broken after being in a cast for weeks. Didn’t bother to review my X-rays with me at all or even tell me recovery time for soft tissue damage. Said I don’t know who told you it was broken? Another doc in YOUR practice. So it’s obvious you didn’t read the notes from a previous visit. And didn’t explain how long I’ll need PT for. And told me I didn’t need to check out even though he said I should be getting PT scheduled minutes before?
