“We were referred to this facility by a family member, and we aren’t at all disappointed. From the time of our first phone call to make the appointment until finishing our first appointment, my dad was treated just like he was family. This place is an excellent facility if you are needing your knees (and I guess other joints) worked on. From the office staff to the doctor, everyone went out of their way to facilitate us.”

“Front desk personnel were wonderful and clear. Dr Masson was very rushed, and a poor listener. After spending a half hour describing my pain on paper, he rushed in and said “where does it hurt?” When I tried to explain it doesn’t hurt all the time he repeated the question. He took the clean urine specimen cup I hadn’t had time to use and threw it in the wastebasket and said “ I don’t need that - I’m the boss here” - Then he said if I wanted an injection for pain I should make an appointment now because he was in demand and not available on short notice, and I could cancel if I decided not to get it. I never mind waiting on doctors because I think it means they are taking the time they need with their patients. I waited for only about 15 minutes but he spent only about 5 minutes with me. I just need someone with more empathy, listening skills, and better bedside manner.”
