He has treated my knees for several years with medications at first then braces and injection until the treatment interfered with my diabetes and the pain was getting worse. We finally decided on total knee replacement. To be even more difficult for him I am a diabetic heart patient. Surgery went well and he earned his pay with balancing what the knee, heart, and diabetes needed. I need to also mention that I have never been to a doctor's office that is as efficient as his. The wait time is the truth , I have never had that happen, consistently< in my 62 years.

From the start, I got an honest diagnose of my problem, with out any hype or any persuasion on his part. He gave me the info I needed to make an informed decision as to how to proceed. Very professional and caring all the way through the operation and recovery. I would certainly recommend him to any one that needs his expertise. Thank you. Doctor

This is one doctor I would avoid at all costs.Run as fast as you can to another MD. He is directly responsible for a botched surgery. He is Lucky I didn't sue him for malpractice
