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.
Very thorough and detailed, Fantastic Surgeon.
Seemed slightly condescending and felt like he was in a rush even though there was no one in the waiting room.
I always have a good experience when I see Dr Trainer. He explains everything to me in detail. I never have to wait long to see him.
Took his time to explain everything.
Egotistical, arrogant and does not listen to his patients
We saw Dr. trainer’s PA. The entire staff was professional, the office was clean, friendly, and most of all they were on time. We came early for our appointment and we were seeing early. Such a respect for that office and they respect their patients.
