07/17/19
The Doctor was very friendly, clear in his explanation of the problem and solution.
06/25/19
I was unprepared for the question "What would you like me to do today?" I've never been given that option to name the treatment I wanted.
06/20/19
The folks I dealt with were great!
06/13/19
The time with the doc was rushed. I didn't feel like I got all my questions answered so I will have to make another appt to get them answered before I have surgery done.
05/23/19
Physician reviewed 4 X-rays, commented that a [...] year-old patella fracture had healed surprisingly well and then stated he only replaced knees and I did not need his services. Then I was dismissed with a statement to continue [...] as I described my schedule and to apply ice. I fell more than two weeks before this visit, my condition was not improving as a result of my treatment and I think an MRI might have been ordered to assess the severity of my soft tissue injury. No follow-up appointment was scheduled. I originally called the office of Dr. [...] to request an appointment and was told he didn't take appointments for knees of people over [...] and Dr. Freedhand was recommended. I should have pressed Dr. [...] staff by insisting that I did not have a chronic "old knee" condition but rather had an injury as a result of a fall. I did not need a knee replacement but feel my condition warranted more attention than it received.
05/10/19
They treated me good.
04/30/19
We didn't discuss risks but I expect they will be in the literature I was given.
04/19/19
Rushed crabby staff. Saw doc in hall more than in room.
04/16/19
Friendly and considerate.
04/13/19
Listened to my symptoms and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable and was given treatment and a plan which encouraged me.
04/08/19
I wish I could have been shown the MRI pictures showing the degree of degenerative arthritis. Our conversation moved quickly to what the day surgery with general anesthesia and recovery would be like. I kicked myself for not asking to see the MRI pictures.
03/28/19
Went online to read what the physician wrote. What he said he did was not true. 2+ was buffed up.
03/23/19
Overall great experience that opened up new possibilities.
03/12/19
Dr. Freedhand was quite personable. As this was only a consultation, he was informative and spoke in layman's terms so it was easy to understand.
03/12/19
Felt rushed with Dr. Freedhand. His lack of care has cost me thousands of dollars over the past [...] years and I am getting tired of it. he wants to give an injection to my hip that has now become an issue. He dismissed whatever I said about the knee issue now causing hip problems for me. Prior to this surgery I was completely healthy and now I am far from healthy!! I am furious.
03/05/19
Very good experience.
03/02/19
Definitely will refer him.
02/16/19
After he told me I needed hip replacement, I told him I couldn't due to time off from work but he told me I will only be out 2-4 weeks off work not months as I've heard from people. He explained its a short time to recover and get back to daily life.
02/09/19
I am super impressed with this doctor as a professional and as a quality human. He knew when to be serious and when to relax which seemed to come naturally.
01/24/19
I did refer 2 other people.
01/18/19
Dr. Freedhand is the best!!!
01/18/19
My longest interaction was with the Resident, Dr. [...], I believe. He was superb: responsive, informative, helpful, a good listener, and quite thorough. The main doctor, Freedhand, was quite good, but his work had been mostly done for him before he met with me.
01/18/19
Very satisfied.
01/10/19
I cannot imagine I could have had a better experience with a different Doctor and staff.
01/09/19
