I was having extreme knee pain, did not know where to go, so I looked up a doctor appointment on Zoc Doc! so glad i did, he was great! The doctor listened to me, assured me I was going to be ok, but needed to take some precausions with my knee. He did not rush, showed me my xrays, which were done on site, {awesome} , then explained ways to make my knee pain better in the future.
Verified patient
Everything was great
Verified patient
Got there a little early and was seen by x-ray technician within 5-10 minutes. They were very patient regarding my need to go slowly due to pain. Saw Dr. Nigro again within 5-10 minutes after x-ray. He explained everything to me very carefully and set up a treatment plan. I was out of there in 30-40 minutes, top. Very impressed by Dr. Nigro and staff.
