Dr. Otto is an excellent, very professional surgeon. Dr. Otto provided road map for success, the Patient Guidelines and Instructions (Post-Op). I love to read lots of books, internet, newspaper but NOT medical books! Dr. Otto had a great plan that was communicated and followed.

I wish you had a rating of exceptional, because Dr Otto would receive that rating from me for each of the previous questions. It took about 2 weeks for me to get this initial appointment for Dr Otto to evaluate my condition. I considered myself lucky as I know how it can sometimes take several weeks to see an orthopedic surgeon, especially one as good as Dr Otto.
