Best Doctor Ever!
I saw Josh today. He was terrific! Very knowledgeable, patient, kind, and thorough. I did have trouble getting a follow-up from December, and a call-back last week though.
I haven’t seen the Doctor in quite some while, only the NP. I am a nurse myself
I saw the other guy and Meghan they were great as usual and professional and did a fantastic job on my shoulder shot hit it in the right place this was the best one as I usually walk out feeling pain but this time they hit the right spot
I was not pleased with the PA at all, I told him of some over the counter medicine that was helpful to my pain but didn't do anything for my leg swelling and he said to me," well why are you here"
I actually saw Josh today and was very pleased. He is very knowledgeable and has a great personality. Enjoyed my visit with the exception of the cortisone shots.. lol
He’s the best knee surgeon in my opinion.
Josh, as always, proved himself very competent and reassuring. Thanks for another pleasant experience with all of your staff.
Saw Jason today for removal of stitches. Informative and energetic.
Explain in detail my options.
