Came from out of town and I was a bit late, and the office decided to go ahead and see me, which was incredibly helpful and very nice bc they didn’t have to do that. I didn’t even wait long at all to be taken back. Had X-rays and Show moreDr came in almost immediately. He listened to me and my concerns, which I had many due to this being an extensive problem involving needing revision surgery. He was patient and pleasant and addressed all my questions and concerns. For the first appt I am very pleased with the office and Dr. Very friendly staff and they were very organized with each step of the appt. Everyone working had a job, knew what it was and got it done immediately. Seems to be a very well structured office.
