Patient Reviews

Feb 09, 2021

Performed an excellent knee replacement. Recovery was ahead of schedule and very manageable. Dr. communicates well and had the flexibility with medications and other things to allow me to do this alone ( I was locked 1500 miles from home by the pandemic). He listens pretty well. Like most doctors he has an information agenda, moves through that quickly and then wants to terminate the visit. But, bend his ear a bit, he'll listen (not just hear) if you're giving him essential information. Only complaint is that the operation precipitated a painful unrelated skeletal issue and he did not move to address that until the full 12 weeks of knee recovery was over. Could have looked at the issue 4 or 5 weeks earlier and saved me a LOT.... a WHOLE LOT of pain. But he still gets 5 stars.
