Patient Reviews
Apr 07, 2022
I have seeing him for years now about an ongoing back and neck issue. He takes a good amount of time to talk with you and assess your issues. I have never been rushed by him. I think a lot of people complain about the wait time for him, but I'll wait my turn. I wouldn't want a rushed 10 minute visit and I'm sure I will never have one with him. He definitely knows what he's doing.
