Dr. Townsend showed images as he explained the treatment plan and answered all our questions thoroughly. He spent a lot of time with us and further suggested a second opinion.

Dr. Townsend, I can't have enough good comments about him. He never made me feel rushed during our appointments. He listened to me and looked me in the eye when he was explaining what it was wrong and how to repair the damage. he further explained how long it would take for me to recover. What the stages of healing are and what the limitations each stage. Following his advice, I am post-surgery at 3 months and am greatly improved and am pain free. He is very pleasaant and approachable.
