He is very friendly, pleasant, & listens patiently while you explain the problem you're having. He doesn't rush or give the impression to want to move on to the next patient. He showed me my x-rays, pointed to the areas where I told him my pain was & explained very explicitly what was causing my pain. Fortunately it did not require surgery. I was very pleased & happy with Dr. Savage, would very definitely recommend him to others for care.
