Dr Marra was thorough yet patient. He did not rush me through the appointment and listened to my questions and concerns. He presented various options for my shoulder. I appreciated that he showed the problem area on my mri. He also attempted to consult another spine surgeon (rather than Dr Divi) that he is referring me to. It was such a nice and productive meeting. He told me this new spine surgeon's office will call to set up a date. I finally feel like someone is listening to me
