I always enjoy my appointments . Everyone is kind knowledgable, and i receive the care that i need . What I hate is being asked if I was being treated as a unique person . its insulting and makes not want to come back to any of my appointments . Please add a NA to that question at the very least and remove the signage posted in the clinic , Thank you

My appointment was canceled and couldn't get another for five weeks. He was pulled to cover in surgery for various reasons. My issue isn't with him it's with scheduling. I really needed cortisone shots in my shoulders and he is the only one that does ultra sound guided injections. I realize this problem is not as important as assisting in surgery however my need should not be completely overlooked as if it didn't matter. Scheduling should be looked at.

Aaron listened to my needs. He did some research to help with my problem in addition to giving me the shots and he found some dicofenac patches that I can wear to help with inflammation. That's it.

It was a good experience even though it took me 2 weeks to get in to be seen for my knee issue which was causing me much pain. But once I was able to be seen everything went very smoothly from check in, to x-rays to seeing the provider who was very personable and knowledgeable and able to treat my knee pain. I left feeling very satisfied with my treatment and care I received. All staff were very caring and professional. The wait time from check in to see the provider went like clock work. I will highly recommend to others who may need care in Orthopedics.

Aaron listened well and answered all of my questions. He reviewed x-rays with me, was encouraging, and did not rush. He is an asset to the orthopedic health care team.
