“My appointment didn’t feel like a routine appointment. I felt the doctor cared about my health. Offered alternative treatments for my pain. Very pleased.”
Marta S.March 4, 2024
“Dr. Georges has wonderful bedside manners. He takes his time to explain in simple terms what the issue is or may be. I was seen right away which was lovely. His staff is friendly, polite and professional. His first recommendation for my hip was therapy, and explained the low chance of need of surgery and what that may be like. I enjoyed my visit. Thank you!”

Dr. B listened and offered alternatives prior to recommending surgery.
Dr. B was "hands on" and examined and moved my knee to better understand my concerns.
Dr. B obtained additional x-rays to rule out additional potential problems
Dr. B demonstrated knowledge and confidence in making my quality of life better by addressing my concerns and providing alternative possibilities for recovery.
