Patient Reviews
Sep 03, 2022
Dr. Helfrich is very easy with his manner and VERY good at diagnosis listening and kindness. He's wicked good with a joint injection as well. His staff has undergone a massive upheaval in recent months and is more distant and seemingly rushed and not very happy than a year ago. I'm sticking with this doctor regardless of occasional snafus in communications these days (for which I blame UPMC, making it almost impossible to actually get TO your doctors)
