I love going to an appointment and getting in immediately. Exam room wait is never more than 1-2 minutes. Every appointment is like that in all of the 8 years I’ve gone here. Even my surgery at their in-office center was on schedule. We got home sooner than expected after my knee replacement, which I consider to be very successful. Dr. Bigelow never rushes out, answers all my questions and is knowledgeable about my concerns. I am so pleased with both my total knee replacements and feel they restored the quality of my life.
