- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/7/2026
I only wish there hadn''t been such a wait for an initial appointment, then the clinic cancelled that appt and I had to reschedule, then surgery was scheduled so far out. I understand that Dr Pelle is very good, hence very booked, but it will be almost a year since I set up my first appt there.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/7/2026
Dr Pelle was very compassionate, listened to my questions and gave explanations. He shared images, did physical assessments and gave as much detail as possible about my upcoming surgery and expectations. It was very much a thorough and interactive process.
