Very good appointment and especially his diagnosis.

Addressed all of my concerns!

Straight forward, knowledgeable, good listener and good communicator. Patient's best interest as best practice appears to be a priority. Encouraging to see.

Very happy with the reversal surgery procedure he did on my shoulder

Did not really address the shoulder pain! Did not ask me to be seen again, if I had no relief from the pain! Still struggling, but his dismissal was that he didn’t want to see me again!
