LOVED him! He wasn't surgery happy. Wanted to get to the bottom of many of my other health issues before resorting to the knife on my knees. Gave me a referral to a functional/integrative doc. Also going to push thru, or at least try to, the 3 series gel shots with my insurance. Would highly recommend!
