SHC Patient, Aug 2015
Doctor didn't know my history, didn't go over MRI, rushed through my appointment, ignored my concerns, spoke too quickly to understand.
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
On this visit he did not seem to be listening to what was going on with my progress. He seemed to have a pre-conceived notion of how he felt I should be progressing and not with what was actually happening with my recovery.
SHC Patient, Aug 2015
I am very happy with the way the appointment went. I didn't get a lot of information about my condition, but it was my first appointment and he isn't sure what's wrong yet.
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Dr. Safran is a personable, excellent doctor. I have already recommended him to a few people who have the type of problems that he deals with... Top Notch doctor!
SHC Patient, Jul 2015
Exceptional willingness to answer my questions in a way that works best for my mind, and excellent understanding of what level of technical detail I need to hear. Took time to answer every question carefully and thoroughly to ensure I was comfortable and satisfied. I did have a sense that I should rush. When I pushed back about treatment recommendations to say I'd already tried some, did not ask very many details about how I tried them or their quality, which left me uncertain.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
I was not prescribed anti-nausea meds and vomited for hours the day getting out of surgery.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
He only discussed my right knee issue, & did not follow up on right shoulder issue.
SHC Patient, May 2015
X-rays and MRI of the left hip were not reviewed and explained. More emphasis on the hamstring repair instead of the hip for which the studies were ordered for. Needed to go for a 2nd opinion to get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan for the hip
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
Safran is awesome, glad to have him as my doctor.
SHC Patient, Mar 2015
Very condescending, made me feel less important as a patient because I'm not a "pro athlete."
SHC Patient, Feb 2015
I was blown away by Dr. Salran's competence and geniality.
SHC Patient, Aug 2014
Dr. Safran quickly understood my level of technical understanding and adapted & explained my condition & treatment.
SHC Patient, Aug 2014
Brief, curt, had his mind made up & did not listen to me.
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
Excellent care & attention.
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
Would have liked warning that severe knee pain possible 4 hours after injection. Actual injection was very smooth.
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
The provider was fantastic!
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
My doctor made me confident he knew what he was doing.
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
Great guy but more interested in talking than in listening.
SHC Patient, Dec 2013
Excellent all around provider, best I've ever had.
