Was a delight to meet a doctor that was very courteous, friendly and helpful all in one.

He was extremely knowledgeable, explain things in a manner that I could understand them, and he has provided me with a plan to fix my knees that I am comfortable with.

7/15/2026

He is a skilled surgeon who doesn't feel the need to impress patients with his knowledge and skill. He dots the "i"s and crosses the "t"s, in order to make it happen the right way. An example for all surgeons to follow.
