The waiting is a little long. But Mr. Love is a very good doctor. He takes his time to make sure his work is correct. I had to get a hip replacement and I haven't had any trouble at all. I'm so glad I found him. It was worth the wait.

April 24, 2015Yonique M.Verified patient
I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Dr Love is as warm and caring as I had read in previous reviews. His communication both in explaining and listening is unsurpassed.
I was seen in under 30 minutes in spite of the fact that the office had been closed the previous 2 days due to weather.
I highly recommend this doctor.
February 21, 2015John M.Verified patient
Wonderful Staff - A+. Dr. Love is very professional and very clinical. I had no doubt that he is highly ranked in his field. During the consultation, Dr. Love informed me that my presented symptoms/conditions would be better addressed by a different medical speciality and thus provided me with several references. Truly appreciated Dr. Love's thorough exam and explanation. Highly recommend.
January 7, 2015Antoine M.Verified patient
Extremely professional, I was impressed at how thorough Dr. Love was in asking and answering questions with regards to my back pain issue. Everything proceeded extremely efficiently, including check-in, being escorted to a room, the doctor's examination, x-rays, and a review of the x-rays with the doctor.

it was a great visit, no complaints at all.
October 29, 2014Linda M.Verified patient
This was my second time visiting Dr. Love. I saw him in March of 2014 for issues related to my hand and he was very descript in explaining to me what was going on with hand. I recently visited him again for some swelling that was going on in my knee and as usual Dr. Love was concise in explaining the diagnosis along with other variable contributing factors. I really like his demeanor, he does not use the "brash and matter of fact" point of view as I have experienced in the past with other health practioners. He was methodical in his approach and I left his office feeling empowered physically because he had equipped me with some new knowledge of my body.
