Doctor Starnes is Awesome! I’ve been going to him for an about two years now having knee injections and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He is as nice as he can be. He never makes you feel like that. You have to be in a hurry to get out.! you don’t have to sit and wait for hours in the waiting room your immediately called back for your appointment and that’s a plus for me cause I don’t want to be sitting in an office for an hour or two! And he doesn’t push surgery on you I’ll let you know what you need and you kinda have to decide what you want! When you are ready! Great Dr.
