Patient Reviews
Aug 28, 2024
I had a fracture and was referred to the clinic. I’d never been there before so it was nice to meet a new doctor who was attentive, personable, and explained what I needed to do to heal. There was no long wait time, and he wasn’t rushed. I will go back to him if I have another orthopedic issue.
