Latest Review

“My orthopedic problem had improved dramatically between when I made the appointment and when Dr. McCandless was able to see me. Instead of saying you'll be fine, he took the time to explain what I could have damaged in my fall, gave me a plan to move forward and explained how long it would hopefully take to improve. He spent more time than I would have expected considering the severity of my injury.”
