Gary Michael Pugh was extremely patient in explaining the MRI we were reviewing and his approach to my care. I am so grateful that he is there and is a great resource.

GM (learned his handle in the office) is the best. So thorough. So friendly! Just explained everything so well. Answered every questions - even 2 questions I had outside of my visit but involved orthopedics - he made recommendations and told me exactly what to do. If only every staff member could be like him, Orthopedics could even better than they are and Orthopedics is leap years beyond any clinic UVA has.
