Patient verified via Press Ganey

The first provider who worked with me was Alexis (sorry, I forgot the last name). She was so professional, knowledgeable, and had an outstanding bedside manner. She took her time to speak with me and explain what was happening. She answered all my questions, and was very thorough and kind. I was beyond impressed.Dr. Varner saw me next. He was brilliant, but that was expected as he came very highly recommended. I already told several of my friends about how great my visit was.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-06-11

Written notes on the discussion would have been helpful since the doctor spoke quickly. The online summary only included technical terms without explanation. Written details on recovery from surgery would also have been helpful.

Dr. Varner took the time to show me his x-rays and how they compared to prior x-rays, then spent time providing me the ladder of options available to address my right foot arthritis and what each would entail.
