You are always very pleasant and you hear me and you understand. Thank you for being a very caring and understanding and right to the point on my medical care thank you.
Good doctor. He knows hiis job. He has a lot of knowledge.
Very good listener. Friendly and helpful. Gave me his time and helped me understand what was wrong and how I can make changes that will help me feel better. Once you walk into his office you are greeted by the staff.
Dr. Tim and his entire staff are first rate all the way!
I have been seeing Dr Trainor for a few years and I have been very happy with him and his staff. He is an excellent doctor and always spends quality time with me and answers all of my questions.
Waited over an hour and never saw the doctor because he was overbooked. Saw The assistant, which was helpful, but was never able to see the doctor.
Dr. Trainor explained everything step by step, listened to every question I may have had. He sent me home with a link to a video with step by step what to do before and after surgery. His staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Dr. Trainor & his staff from the moment I made my first appointment through my hospital discharge were excellent.
Always caring and helpful
Dr Trainor have a great bed side manner and caring to he patient.
Love Dr Timothy Trainor's bedside manner. He is very helpful & informative. I feel confident in his care.
