He was very informative about how my hand would heal and exactly how I would have to get it back to 'normal'. Great bedside manner. If I have ti have back surgery again, I will go to him yjis time. Don't understand the negative reviews. Perhaps they weren't willing to listen to him or didn't ask him questions.

Never explained results or effects of injuries after car accident. Was upset PIP was used up. Sent me to physical therapy. They had more knowledge & experience with this injury then he did.

THIS MAN DOESN'T LISTEN TO YOU! I told him where I was having pain and he ignored it and tried to treat another spot. NEVER ONCE did he acknowledge the place where I said it hurt. He seemed like he just wanted to schedule me for therapy and get me out. And his nurse is just as bad. She made SEVERAL mistakes every time I visited, gave my paperwork to another patient once and was very rude and lied to me. I suggest picking another doctor and office.
