Even though Dr. Stirton was running behind, he took the time to get X-rays and come back to discuss results and surgery options. He was very gracious.

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 😀

It was my first appointment to the clinic for a knee injection. I love that the doctor has set up a clinic where you check in receive your shot and simply check out. Very time efficient for patients, staff and the doctor.
