My first visit to dr.kvitne was a very unpleasant experience. I waited for 2 hours and 15 minutes for 5minutes with dr.kvitne . He was very pleasant and professional. However his reception desk staff was so rude and unprofessional. When I complained about such long wait,he responded it was usual and shrugged his shoulder and laughed. $12 for parking was a joke and only to be told after there's a free parking . Unprofessional and arrogant attidude of reception staff left me wondering whether I would return to dr.kvitne for next appointment.

I waited 2_1/2 hours to see Dr. Kvitne at the Kerlan Jobe clinic. Had they told me up front that there were unusual circumstances, I would have understood and happily rescheduled. But nobody said a word; just a normal day apparently. IMO, keeping a patient waiting 2 1/2 hours is arrogant and outrageous.

Dr. Kvitne is probably the finest Dr., I've ever known. He has scoped both of my shoulders over the past decade and I owe him all my gratitude for doing such a wonderful job. Anyone with shoulder impingement should see him and feel totally confident having him operate on them. He's terrific!

Dr. Kvitne listens, he takes as much time as is needed to answer all questions, he's thorough, and he's nice. I'll never go to another knee surgeon. In fact, I'm traveling from Kentucky to Los Angeles in a few months so he can do surgery on my knees.
