I hoped to understand more clearly. .....about: my symptoms better understanding reasons of follow- ups that were refered i don't know how to get my own copy of MRI and i would be helped by a more detailed expplaination of different views of injured area. I was moving slow and left alone before i could get out of the chair. some questions were cut off and not correctly understood. I'd hoped to see Dr. Wickman but i understand that isn't always practical. I felt rushed though. The time consumed by the justification of personal credentials was unnecessary.

Laura has always been amazing! She is such a positive person and has a kind and gentle soul, it's impossible to leave without feeling that she genuinely cares about your well-being. I'm so fortunate to have somebody like, Laura, tending to my healthcare. With most physicians and physicians Assistant's anymore, Communication is limited to what is being read off of a computer screen, It's almost as if there is already an assessment and a plan before you even walk through the door. Laura is amazing, there is true eye contact and communication, you will leave your appointment feeling like you are being taken care of!

Dr Haggerty impressed with her intelligence and professionalism. She did not pressure me to have surgery. We explored other options to no avail. She removed a painful bunion that prohibited me to walk or wear shoes. She did a very good job and explained everything clearly. Super pro!

Dr. Birch was highly recommended to me and I can see why. My new knee replacement is doing well and my other knee has had 3 injections a week apart, and it made a huge difference. I am back to hiking regularly now.
