Each time he’s been extremely knowledgeable about the problems and took steps to help me get better be it getting X-rays or a leg brace or shoulder brace, or medication. For every problem that I’ve had, he has had me come see him frequently until I got better. He’s also been giving me shots every six months now for several years due to osteoporosis.
