Patient verified via Press Ganey

Met with Dr. Ellis Fully anticipating to have surgery, but after talking with him, he Recommended that I should try I a steroid shot first. The shot would be a less invasive procedure and might prevent me from having to have surgery The shot has helped with the pain and swelling. I can walk with no pain, cane. Or walker this last week I would strongly recommend Dr. Ellis He was very thorough and explained my injury and prognosis to me. I appreciate him not jumping into surgery mode. Let's wait and see what the shot does
