Twenty minute wait for appointment. He listened to me and answered all my questions. Patient, not rushed and relaxed. I’m definitely glad I was referred to him and the forty-five minute drive was worth it.

Repaired a torn meniscus and I can't say enough of how great he is. Before surgery I was in so much pain. Pain completed gone now. Walking great. He is very compassionate too.

I came to the office for a consultation and was treated like a second class citizen. He could not have rushed me out of the office any quicker than what he did. I was not given any time to explain the circumstances surrounding my being in his office. I could not wait to get out of there.
