With discussion of probable xxx procedure & lack of thoroughness in providing all necessary information (specific risks of surgery) with initial surgery in xxx (I wasnt familiar with most xxx surgical procedures); I had more questions to ask this time.

As I was a non-surgical patient, provider was a surgeon and was professional in his care. I felt that it was clear that his preference was for surgical candidates. (The physician 8I typically saw left the practice and I was scheduled for this physician.

Didn't diagnose the issue, waste of time and money. I could have just gone to a physical therapist on my own.

The provider is superb! I am confident he understood my knee problem. He is obviously brilliant and experienced. He was friendly and concerned. He affirmed my physical therapist's approach. He is low key which I appreciate. I am extremely impressed with Dr. DeCoons
