Dr. Gainer has a great combination of skill, knowledge, and personality. He is friendly and kind, very easy to communicate with. He figured out was going on with my hand and came up with a game plan in no time. The joint injection pain was minimal and I noticed improvement quickly. Wonderful physician.
