He's one of the kindest sweetest doctors I've had in a long time. And yes I would recommend him to anybody which I already have. He's just the best and better manner that I've had. Cares about you and make sure you feel like he cares. Just an overall wonderful person

He was great. Listened to me, had me do an xray and read the info I brought. Gave me his opinion and laid out a 3 point plan of action. He wrote prescription, gave us no to sign up PT and ask me to call him when we finished pt and presc or before if needed. He was Great. Top Notch.
