Mar 21, 2024
I called after hours at 8 pm with a concern about my shoulder surgery. Dr. Mentzer was the on call doctor and listened and took the time to explain what I was experiencing and why. It's nice to see doctors have each other's back, being Dr. Paisley did the surgery. I would recommend both of these specialists. They both take the necessary time to listen, respond and put you at ease.
