I often meet patients on one of the worst days of their lives. I strive to make life after trauma a turning point rather than an ending point.

He manages to be both extremely capable, accomplished and well respected while also making himself approachable.

    I came with a fracture on my humerus bone and I had a series of X-rays that were done in an Emergency clinic the day before. I was already clearly diagnosed. I was disappointed for having to take new x-rays. I had the impression that the X Ray doctor didn't read about the specifics of my fracture and when taking the X-rays he required me to adopt a posture that was totally contradicted to the healing of my fracture.
