This was my first time meeting with Derek. Although I felt like the information given to me was accurate, as compared to other visits I have had with Orthopedic. But, I also felt rushed through my appointment. Derek was very direct and quickly ran through all the options, but giving little time to respond and when a chance to respond was given, I did not feel like I was able to share as much as I would like to.

Derek answered all my questions about knee replacement and provided much needed information to help me reach a decision about surgery. Excellent experience.

He could sell a car or get a loan from a bank easily. He answered all our questions honestly and completely giving us all the options about treatment and what to expect and not expect from the treatment received. Would have given him a 4.5 star rating if that was available. Let's hope that the chemistry of the shots for the knees will work.

Love him!
