Professional,helpful,easy person to talk to & more drs. should be like him!!!!
Dr. Risinger is an excellent doctor and a really nice guy. He clearly explained what’s going on with my shoulder and gave me a choice on how I wanted to proceed. I opted for injections over surgery right now. Not a permanent fix, but I appreciate that I’m not being pressured into having surgery.
Very timely appointment. The team was extremely knowledgeable and professional. They listened well, asked great questions, and quickly gave me great next steps. Excellent experience!
