Very thorough and easy to talk with. He will be honest with his pts a lot to do unnecessary surgery. I, as a nurse, felt very comfortable with his demeanor and professional opinion!!! I Highly recommend him and his judgement!!!!

I saw my doctor today to review the results of the MRI on my shoulders. He took the time to carefully explain the results, show me the specific areas that are causing my pain, and make sure I fully understood everything.
He was thorough, patient, kind, and extremely helpful. I never felt rushed, and I truly appreciated the care and attention he gave me. He made a difficult situation much easier to understand.
He is truly one of the best doctors I have ever been to, and I am very grateful for the excellent care I received.
Thank you so much!
