From this first visit I liked his mannerisms and I was impressed by the way we worked things out, hopefully PT is the answer

I really enjoyed my visit. Mr. Duerkes and his staff showed great concern and took great care of me. I'm always in good hands when I go to EmergeOrtho. I have acute anxiety but I'm still relaxed during my wait in the exam room.
