Great Dr. would highly recommend him.
Dr Melbourne listened patiently as I described my previous experiences with knee pain and surgery, and he listened to my concerns about how my current condition could be treated. His recommendations for next steps incorporated everything that I had shared with him, showing that he had truly listened. He is a kind and caring doctor who provided several recommendations for me to consider. We worked out a plan together and I look forward to continue working on this plan with his guidance.
Do not feel confident that he knows what is best. Hesitant to provide options.
