| 4.8 | Nov 6, 2024 | He's the most knowledgeable provider I know.. Hi staff is top notch and takes care to provide the information he provides to them, so no one is left out of the loop. There is never a situation of "the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing" every member of his staff has been well trained in the skills of EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, a refreshing mindset in this day and age, where people skills are, for the most part, nonexistent! Every single staff member greets you with a smile, making sure you feel comfortable with their involvement in your carehis entire staff runs like a well oiled machine , and they make the visit go as smoothly as possible, especially considering that at of them are dealing with patients who are experiencing either pre or post surgical intervention, so gentle hand-holding is key to his practice. His waiting room is always full of people who are singing his praises, an unusual situation indeed.And his expertise extends to the physical therapists who have the unpleasant task of getting the patient back into everyday life as soon as they can, given the complexity of their physical health and conditions. | |
