He may be a wonderful surgeon, but he’s an arrogant person, too. Social skills, bedside manner SEVERELY lacking. Also needs some culture training - he is not multiculturally-minded, seems to have limited understanding but could also be a spectrum disorder. There are many good orthopedists - find one who doesn’t believe they are a god.

Worst MD I've had. When I told him I wanted to switch dr's due to not connecting with him and his lofty, superior approach to my medical needs he laughed. He actually laughed at me. This entire practice is a real profit before patients place. I went to a MUCH better ortho and foot practice after this and have loved it. Family strength, no laughing in your face, win awards every year and very strong medical academic backgrounds. Stay away from NM Ortho and especially this dr.

Excellent physician. Hip replaced on Tuesday, home on Thursday. The following Monday physical therapy had her using a cane. Highly recommended.

I've seen him once. He certainly took the time to listen and he cared about my quality of life. I'll be getting the replacement and I feel I have a team to work with.

This doctor is quite caring and actually listens to the issues I had. No other doctor would take me on because of my complicated situation but i'm blessed for his help. Surgery and recovery were easy and I knew what to expect. Even called me at home to see how I was doing .
