I was very satisfied with my consultation. Dr. Starnes was polite,respectful and solicitous. He did not act rushed. He behaved as if he respected my intelligence and my time.

Friendly, competent, efficient, informative. Immediately diagnosed the problem, discussed and explained tx plan and reasons. He gave me an injection that I thought would be horribly painful and I barely felt it.

Highly recommended and appreciated! Dr. Stares is very thorough. He takes the time to listen to what I have to say and helped me find ways to manage my pain and improve my knee issues. He's also kind. I bring my elderly mother with me to appointments and he takes the time to chat with her.

“I pursued a career in medicine because I enjoy continually learning and applying science to help people live actively with fewer symptoms holding them back. My patient care philosophy centers around promoting healthy and active lives by nonoperative, minimally invasive means. I also work closely with other specialists to ensure each patient gets the optimal care they need. In my free time, I can be found mountain biking, watching one of my four children play sports alongside my wife, or at our church.” – Dr. Starnes
