Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I was just floored by the kindness of the nurse. Carol Kaponsky was an amazing practitioner. I love the way she interacted with me and explained things. It was clear she was truly interested in helping me feel better and not just checking a box. She took notes on what I said and was treated me like a true partner in my own care. It was one of the best double-team medical appointments I can remember where they were both truly focused on my comfort and helping me get well!

NP was exceptional in listening and answering questions. I do not like getting shots, but before administering three of them, she told me exactly what she was going to do and touched me where I was to receive the injection. She is very personable.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
NP Took a little while to get to me after I was shown into an exam room. However, once she got there, she took time with me and I did not feel rushed at all. I can see why she took a little time with her previous patient.

NP Kandinsky is exceptional. She went over in detail my x-rays, then using a 3D plastic model explained where my pain most likely originated from and then outlined a 5 step course of treatment. I have never had a better encounter with a medical professional.

Carol was fantastic! She was very caring & was very thorough in the exam, asking me relevant questions, listening to all of my aches & pains, & spent quality time with me. She outlined a plan of recovery after discussing it with my husband & me and valued our questions & opinions. She is better than most doctors I've seen for the same condition. The staff in Othopedics were excellent.

Carol Kondonsky is extraordinary herself. I learned that when she treated me in the past for a severe case of sciatica, out of all of the medical providers that I went to during that time she was the only one that new what to do to stop the pain. During this visit for another problem that I was having she was that same extraordinary medical profession.
