Reviews from Patients

Good Analysis and diagnosis. Willing to let me get MRI's when I am in pain. Careful examination of issues and MRI's leading to conclusions that get me into surgery as I needed badly. Dr. Hefferon found something that was not seem by the first MRI diagnosis by someone else on my elbow. I looked it over with him and he explalned the most likely reason my elbow keeps hurting. Time for a SCOPE!
