The doctor was absolutely wonderful. It was a relief to have finally found a doctor familiar with my underlying condition who truly took that into consideration when deciding the best path forward for me. He was patient, kind, had a calming manner about him, and was able to explain things in a way I could truly understand them. I hope to continue any future orthopedic needs I may have with him, and I would recommend anyone I know to him as well.

This was my first appointment with Dr. Armitage. He spoke quickly and I wasn't sure if he was explaining things on my x-ray that are contributing to my current issue, or if it was just general information that was noticeable on the x-ray. He did not specifically say that he was ordering an MRI, but gave me the option explaining that it would help with diagnosis since he didn't see anything on the x-ray or exam. I felt like I needed to request the MRI, then he agreed it is the best choice. I left there feeling anxious which is not typical for me.

I would take all the time in the world, and I would wait patiently as long as it took to see these doctors there, this particular situation. Any day, any time they allow me, they're very, very considerate and patient with me. And I'm recommending them to also other people that are not having good experiences with other doctors. And that is a promise. Thank you so much.

I feel like I was not really cared for. I was told my options and that all of them had more drawbacks than benefits. It didn't feel like my car provider had any confidence in any of the viable options. I am a [redacted] year old male and have barely any function in my right arm. [redacted] I was told I was unlucky and to call if things got worse, but they're already bad. [redacted]
