Dr. Mishra was great. Spent time with me explaining his recommendations and coming up with a plan. Very personable and friendly.
Dr. Kumar epitomizes what I would hope for in ANY care provider -- expertise, exceptional interpersonal skills, and a natural manner of motivating (me) to continue the regimen he recommended for my right knee. Now, several days since our appointment, I am diligently continuing the therapeutic exercise, with him in mind.
Dr. Mishra and his staff got me in very quickly given my history of knee surgeries given my last knee issue and I truly appreciated their ability to schedule me in last minute.
I was pretty worried before coming to the appointment that I might be rushed through and not able to share all the information I needed to share as doctors these days sometimes do that. Fortunately, my worry was unfounded and I did feel that I was able to share all that I needed to do so.
Dr. Mishra is professional and cares about my health.
Dr Misha is the best surgeon I've encountered. Surgery is his last option and not an option in my case.
