He is personable and knows what he’s doing. He’s approachable. Explained very well my pre-surgery X-rays and how the device would be placed. I was nervous and hurting at the time. Was very attentive post-op when I was in recovery. I have followed the post-op therapy very well. Today’s visit assured me the devices are placed correctly and healing well. I understand what I need to continue to do for the best possible recovery. I’m willing to be vigilant.
