He was very thorough and seemed to take an active interest in my unique muscle complaints. He seemed to have a know his specialty pretty well, and was spent time explaining his train of thought regarding treatments. He was a little dismissive of other practitioners I had seen, but seemed to largely agree with their methods. Overall, a good experience, with bedside manner a small area for improvement.

He spent quite a bit of time with me, asked a lot of questions, and seems to have finally correctly diagnosed a problem that has been misdiagnosed several times before. Thanks to him!
