    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.

    Dr. Newcomer is an excellent Doc, he listens, he suggests, he gets to know the patient. He actually is an old school Doc, he takes his time, he gets to know you and he shows compassion. Today, corporate Healthcare has become more about how many patients per hour, rather than having patience with those in need.

    I arrived early for my appointment and was taken back to the exam room. The nurse did her interview process but it took a while to see the doctor. I assume it was because I was early. I didn't actually see the doctor until a little after my scheduled appointment time. The office was quite busy on the day I was there.

    Dr. Newcomer did a great job. He explained my MRI results clearly, knew exactly what was going on in my knee, and (luckily) was able to get a surgeon to come in for a consultation so that I wouldn't have to come back for another appointment. He continuously asked me if I had any questions. I felt respected and empowered.
