— Patient review for Mercy Clinic Orthopedics - River Valley"He is the absolute rudest dr I have EVER dealt with! NO bedside manner! No Imaging done of the surgery site! Places blame on everyone else before doing X-rays to make sure everything in the surgery site is good! Will NOT listen to any families concerns. And will attack you aggressively!!!"
