Dr. Stirton is extremely polite, attentive, and listens to his patients’ comments. This was my second visit about the same issue and I came away feeling like now there is a plan to move forward in my treatment.. The first visit revealed that I did not need a hip replacement.; however the problem had persisted so he reviewed the x-ray and found another issue. I came away feeling relieved that we are getting to the root of the problem. I am very impressed with Dr. Stirton. All the staff members were friendly and efficient 😀
