Dr Hoard was always professional and compassionate relating to my condition. He recognized the dire need I had to fix my fractured acetabulum and degenerated joint. His surgery was life changing and I was able to get my life back. He also followed my post surgical status which made me feel supported. I also need to give Carl NP the nurse practitioner positive feedback, he too followed my care. I felt Carlhad my back and understood my position. Huge heartfelt thank you to both of them from me! You couldn't ask for a better team and im profoundly greatful for their support.
