Very sweet and careing
Very helpful. Listened to me and provided options.
He was highly recommended and could not care less about my presence. He dismissed my trying to explain a chronic condition and previous issues with my ankle. I expressed the amount of pain I’ve been in and did not get any instruction for relief, much less an offer for stronger ibuprofen or toradol to help manage pain. He dismissed what I was trying to say about my first problem and the mri results and he disregarded it because it was not in front of him - he had a more recent mri printed off with a different diagnosis in front of him and that was what he focused on. It took a little over two hours to finally see him In the room and he did not care to listen at all. Extremely disappointed.
Dr Epting was very kind and thorough. He let me know what is really going on with my ankle.. I plan to follow his instructions so that I can get better.
Greatest personality of any surgeon I’ve ever seen. Very personable and engaging and shows he cares.
Dr Epting, was very professional & to the point. Explaining the circumstances & options for my foot problem.
Best foot and ankle dot there is very knowledgeable and explain everything to you where you can understand. He is a people‘s daughter not the commercial doctor that you see on TV. He is the best Dr. Elton.
Took too long to be seen. I was there from 10AM to 12noon
Friendly, professional, a good communicator
He was very nice
