Combining education, special appliances, and customized treatment plans, he works closely with each patient to develop a course of treatment that will provide relief and return functionality without invasive procedures.

The appointment was short because my ankle was not broken, but I didn't feel like he was rushing, he really seemed to care. The other staff in the office were nice and scheduling was not a problem.
