Yes, hi, Dr. Patterson and his physician assistant, they both were very warm and they helped me very much understand the problem that I had with my shoulder. They spent plenty of time answering my questions. They were very understanding with the problem that I had, and when I explained the problem that I had, they were very happy to explain to me my problem.
