Patient Reviews
Jan 30, 2018
He does come across as arrogant as stated before. I feel like he doesn't listen but instead already has the answer ready in his to spit out when you finish talking. With that said, I broke my heel. He told me my life would never be the same and that this is a serious injury. He did a surgery involving placing 5 screws into my foot. One hit a nerve and that is really my only issue now, 2.5 years later. I wish the nerve didn't get hit, but I do believe he is a talented doctor and surgeon.
