Dr. F. has been my ortho doctor for more than 15 years. I really like how he explains the situation in depth using x-rays. When he did my knee replacement and blood tests were not rebounding, he came to the rehab where I was to explain why he was concerned and what might happen. He has a good sense of humor. He is a credit to JMH Health and to the medical field.
