What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He’s a no nonsense kind of guy that seems to know what he’s talking about. That’s why I drive two hours to see him rather than twenty minutes to Alpena.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Maybe a good surgeon, but as a person, thumbs down. My dog received better after care from the vet. Had my pre test weeks before surgery and minutes before surgery informed me that it looked like I had pneumonia. Forgot to schedule physical therapy, so I was a week behind. No one calls to check and see how you’re doing. Your left feeling like a number on an assembly line.
