Well, everybody was just really, really kind and Dr. Patel was just very knowledgeable, gave a very thorough examination. I had four x-rays, which is three more than I've ever had on my left knee. And it was shown and explained and everything, everybody, everybody, you know, his assistant, the x-ray technician, everybody was just really wonderful and delightful and it was just a really positive, very positive experience. I came home feeling really good about my knee, which was good anyway, about everybody that I had met. So thank you very much. Thank you.

Everyone at this practice was so kind and it was such a good experience. I, on accident, started going to the wrong facility, the wrong WellSTAR facility. And so because we were already going to the wrong one, that made us late going to the practice in Hiram. And so the doctor still wanted to see me and that was just very encouraging because I had, you know, just dislocated my knee and it was kind of a lot. And so he still wanted to see me and they worked me in and were just so kind and it was just a good experience. Thank you.
