The office staff have the best bedside manner I have seen and treat my mother as if she is family so I am never concerned if I can't make an appointment with her.
I fractured my right ankle in 3 places on a Friday. A friend gave me his name for a referral. He was able to get me in that Monday and surgery the following week. Stitches look fabulous; follow-up biweekly with a recast and xrays. Not only does he have an incredible way of putting you at ease and answering all your questions openly and honestly, so does his entire staff. He definitely has an amazing team.

I have seen him for several different issues for both feet and for each issue he has taken time to fully listen, educate and involve me in the best treatment plans available to me.
