First off, I,m military so it was fantastic being able to schedule my initial appointment only one week out! I,m used to waiting three or even four weeks for appointment availability on base. I only sat in the waiting room for about two minutes after checking in before I was called back. He and his PA were to the point but the interaction did not feel rushed. I was given options outside of surgery. Overall great experience!

Dr Bookout and his staff are spot on! My first intro was several years ago for a meniscus tear repair. Polite, professional, prompt. And a fantastic surgical outcome. When I injured my ankle, there was no doubt this was where I wanted to be treated. Again, the kind of care I want for myself. I trust him with my ortho recoveries!
