Patient Reviews
Dec 16, 2024
Convinced me that I should not have surgery and should continue with my home remedy which has been effective in the short-term. Also did not recommend surgery for a shoulder problem which has since resolved itself 90% without surgery. I appreciated his conservative approach to my problems and the idea that surgical intervention should be considered as a final resort when all other options have failed.
