Patient Reviews
Feb 21, 2025
When I detached the distal bicep tendon in my arm, he took action to quickly find a surgical time slot (2 days later), as repairs are needed quickly for these types of injuries. He has consistently shown concern for my healing and rehab process, and his explanations and instructions have been easy to understand. From the beginning, I’ve felt I was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.
