    He is very warm and welcoming and listens to the issue. He really makes sure you understand what the issue is and what the x-ray shows. Very personable, great personality and attitude.

    Brian even pulled up the MRI and showed me exactly what was going on with my shoulder and why it was hurting. Offered to help me in any continued care that I might need. I rate him as an excellent provider.

    Not specific to him but general ask that for directions of care after to maybe give a print out or add too notes that I can access on the app. It can be a lot of info and it’s nice to have a reference to double check I’m progressing as he directed

    Immediately recommended shoulder MRI in order to get full scope of problem situation; and ordered PT to stop resistance therapy pending MRI results.

    Please see prior comment. I maintain high confidence in the medical staff in this practice, and, while I don’t want another injury to bring me back, this practice would be my first choice.
