She is very pleasant and works with my limits and talks me through every step of the way, making sure she explains things and that I understand.
December 30, 2015Moet M.Verified patient
She was extremely welcoming and friendly. Her facility smelled beautiful and was warm and comfortable. She spoke with confidence and knowledge of her speciality but never over my head. She gave me the reality about my condition (scar tissue in both my Achilles tendons) and set an aggressive schedule to deal with it -- all with the intention of getting back up and running (literally). The urgency that she is approaching it matches my urgency to get back to running. There's nothing like finding a doctor who is as committed to you getting better as you are. She's a TRUE find. I HIGHLY recommend

Nice people
August 14, 2015Garrick B.Verified patient
There was a short wait, but this was only because she was giving careful attention to her other patients. When it was my turn, she was very engage and a good listener. She was able to assess my pain quickly and we brainstormed together ways to solve the problem in the short and long term.
