He's a very pragmatic physician. Tells you what the picture is and offers logical explanation to help yourself the best. That I appreciate. And he is enjoyable to talk with in general. My only apprehension is, " is this going to hurt " on exam. He certainly knows those trigger points. Very knowledgeable.

Dr Chenelle first explained all of the relevant details involving my emergency surgery in the ER. when I arrived so that I felt empowered to make the decision to go ahead with the surgery. I noticed when the surgery was over that most symptoms I previously had were gone. I recovered relatively quickly - more quickly than I imagined I would. Dr Chenelle was willing to answer all my questions in subsequent visits to his office. I am grateful for his wonderful surgical skills and his presence during this stressful time.
