Clear Communication

Dr. Stein operated on my Achilles after a significant rupture that two prior surgeons had told me would require a lengthy open procedure with an uncertain outcome. His repair was precise, his post-operative protocol was structured and clear, and I was back to full activity well ahead of schedule. Beyond the surgical skill, the experience of having a doctor who actually listens was something I had stopped expecting.
