Patient Reviews
Jan 18, 2023
Met with her for surgery consult. Very thorough in showing me everything she was seeing in my physiology, imagery, history. She explained why she recommended the procedure she did, and exactly what it would entail, and what its limitations might be. Got much more personalized and pragmatic answers from Dr. Atwater than from a list of other doctors, podiatrists, and PT's that I've seen for this injury. Her team was respectful of my insurance limitations and worked with me to get only the essentials this visit and hold off on extra images and appointments.
