Everyone was prompt and professional. Dr. Smink explained everything clearly. I got the information and assistance I needed.
Great facility and the staff really put me at ease.
I canceled this appointment. Butter scheduling company needs to go
No waiting. Appointment time kept. Dr. Smink answered all my questions as usual. Gave me his full attention without me feeling rushed and gave me instructions needed after Cortisone injection in my knee.
On time, pleasant staff and Dr listened and provided help.
Dr Smink as always was empathetic, thorough, kind. The best.
Very caring and concerned with his patient. Dr. Smink really takes the time to assess the situations and gives a reasonable remedy or solutions to improve the patient situation.
Doctor & medical assistant were good. One of the front desk women have a bit of attitude which makes the start of the appointment not start as good but overall ok.
Always in time and compassionate
Supportive, friendly, and knowledgeable Dr and staff.

Dr. Hussain is friendly, thorough and ensures his patients understand their medical plans. He communicates quickly with my physical therapist. If you unfortunately need a hand specialist/surgeon, seek out Dr. Hussain.
