He spent time talking and explaining what he say on my images versus what the radiologists reported. He also explained the recommended procedures and answered my many questions. I didn't feel rushed or like I was bothering him which isn't always the case when being seen, especially when you have underlying conditions. He treated me like a person and that is MUCH appreciated!

Five stars. I was worried at first because I never met him, but he was phenomenal! I didn't feel rushed. He was very informative and detail about the surgery, the process, and expectations going forward. Great take-aways going home. Rx was ordered and explained what to expect for my 3 month follow up.

The PA was great, the other office staff needs ADA training. Only issue with the PA was that the clinical notes that were written say it was a Telehealth visit and not an in person visit.
