Sort of rushed. He had no idea at the end of the hour what was wrong so he gave me the name of an MRI office to go to.

But today with my visit he was a total jerk and seemed like he doesn't wanna be there.
Totally disappointing visit and waste of time and money.

March 31, 2021Keith T.Verified patient
The doctor was quite competent and to the point (at least from my novice point of view). He seemed overbooked, which I gather is not uncommon for orthopedists; when I started to ask questions after he finished briefing me, he was clearly impatient and left after answering the first question.
March 2, 2021Stephen E.Verified patient
Very patient and knowledgeable doctor. Took time to explain the issue and the possible options for treatment without pushing for any particular solution.
