Great communication, very knowledgeable
He is the kindest and most compassionate Doctor I’ve seen. I fully trust him with my care.
Love this guy.
Wonderful place with wonderful people!
He is amazing! He explained everything in detail to me in perpetuation for knee replacement. All of my questions and more were answered. He is very kind and patient… didn’t rush thru the appointment with me. Gave me detailed expectations before , during and after surgery as well as therapy and healing. I can’t tell you how much at ease he made me feel. His nurse Krista is the best too! Never had a Doctor tell me he was going to make my life better… that I can have a better more active life and not miss out on all the things I could have been doing all these years. “Make my knee great again!“ ( Pres Trump reference there! )
Nice dr. Explains things seems to be compassiate
As always. Great. The Doctor to see if your joints are bothering you. Fantastic at explaining everything.👍👍👍
We had Matt today for my appointment, can’t say enough about him and the nurses… great job
Todd listens well and gives great advice. He understands my concerns and helps me live the life that I enjoy. Great doctor on all levels..
Excellent Dr very professional, sincere, and not egotistic
