The doctor and his staff are top shelf. They are always helpful, up to date and patient. The medical care I have received has helped me get through a knee sprain, as well as Arthritis very satisfactorily. Eventually, I may need surgery, but we have taken numerous steps to deal with the discomfort and his recommendation on physical therapists was also outstanding.

In a professional, respectful, congenial environment, the most notable and important aspect of my visit was that all my questions were answered, and in the discussion regarding solutions to my knee problem, I came. away with a clear understanding of the procedures available. I also appreciated being able to view my X-ray and MRI images and receive contextual information about them.
