Great doctor! Skilled and answers all questions! Highly recommend.
This was my first experience with this procedure. Dr. Newell and the entire staff did an excellent job.
Dr, Newell was friendly and personable. He took the time to try to understand what could be causing my chronic pain, and then, using numerous, quite entertaining analogies, explained what could be happening and all the options available for treatment. No doctor I’ve ever been to has taken such a thorough approach. I am very happy I had the opportunity to meet and, hopefully, work with Dr. Newell going forward!
He’s very good at what he does, but when I’m telling you that an area of my body is not working right and that the x-rays and MRIs approved that is moderate to severe and you have a specialist tell you that you’re looking at getting that part replaced and it’s not to be ignored and it was asked to be MRI and it wasn’t but he is a good doctor. I’m not gonna use this against him because it’s just one of the things him and I are putting hands on right now, but I think we will come to even ground.
The surgery team was kind, courteous, respectful, and professional. The surgery went well and had the desired effect. No pain whatsoever
Very good, approachable.
