Our visit to Dr. Arnold's office was awesome. Dr. Arnold was great in coming in and explaining what he was gonna do with my daughter's ACL. More importantly, I liked how Dr. Arnold and his PA worked together, both very knowledgeable and walking out of their office, the office, I understood where we were going and what the next steps were. Excellent visit, excellent office, thanks.
