I have nothing but good to say about the PA and the nurse who worked with me. Both were friendly, efficient, and kind.

Kelsey is and always has been a great PA to see. She is friendly and explains everything clearly. She gave me treatment options that ranged from conservative R.I.C.E to the possibility of surgery, but let me make the decision. I respect that options are given

Dr. Parente was very kind and thorough in her review of the xrays - she showed me where there was an apparent chip of arthritis which has broken away and had located itself between other bones which was likely the cause of some of the pain I was experiencing. She offered options and I took the shot of cortisone in the joint which helped tremendously, I was then offered three different types of support splints and I chose the one which best suited my needs.
