Excellent doctor. Always so helpful.
Knows his stuff. Not stumbling through it. Staff is great +
Everyone is in such a rush to get you in and out. I was not shown my X-rays to explain what was going on. I was NOT impressed.
My first appointment and never met the doctor. I was not happy about this. He was busy with pre-op patients.
It was great seeing Dr. Trainer he did knee surgery on me back in 2013...everyone was great dealing with them....
Very Professional and doesn’t sugarcoat anything.
He listens to his patients.
Dr. Trainor came highly recommended by the rehab therapist, and I was not disappointed in our meeting. He explained all the options for my left shoulder, and once I understood the possibilities, I opted for surgery without hesitation. Dr. Trainor took the time to explain the Superior Capsular Reconstruction procedure and why it was the best option.
Bedside manor could be better . He was to rushed in my opinion. Needs to be more attentive to the patient.
Courteous, professional, patient and kind.
