        Dr. Aboulafia took time to incorporate my concerns in prescribing a treatment plan. He explained each course of action patiently, and helped me understand the tradeoffs of each approach. In the end, I elected a hybrid approach to assertively do nothing, but to monitor the pain in my ankle to inform whether care should be escalated.

        Very pleasant and humorous. His encouragement certainly boosts patient morale. He is a specialist so I don't get to see him often. I saw him three times since my surgery last year and each time I thoroughly enjoyed the visit. I do want to mention that the first part of the appointment was to have x-rays taken in the facility, reviewed by a radiologist and the doctor, and then the visit itself. That saved another trip for imaging.
