Great to work with my bad knees, letting me know my options getting cortisone shots helping my pain. Once pain gets to much have plan for knee replacement.

First time meeting Dr Freeman and was impressed. We waited a while after being taken to our room, which is normal for any Doctors office. The first thing Dr Freeman did as he came in, was to apologize for the wait. He asked if we could take some additional X-rays, so he could be more thorough and get a better look to make sure the fracture would heal with surgery. After, he came back and showed us all of the views of the X-rays he went over the things I needed to do and what to avoid. Also said if anything changed or if we had questions, to give them a call. Would definitely recommend!!

He was very kind. Great bed side manner. However I feel like he was in a hurry. I didn't have anything broken so his comments were brief. He never did tell me what was or what wasn't on the x-ray. I feel like I wasn't that important because my injury wasn't that bad. I am doing what he told me. Put a certain ointment on it and take a pain reliever. It's feeling a little bit better every day.
