I was seeing Dr Senall for a second opinion but after our first meeting, I now consider him my orthopedic surgeon. I felt he cared about my problem. He didn't just talk; he listened. He clearly explained a course of treatment, and I am putting my trust in him. I'm so glad I was able to see him so quickly.
