    Dr. Rodner and his staff are amazing. The resident doctor working with him (I feel bad I cannot recall his name at this time) was one of the kindest, personable, knowledgeable doctors I've seen. He explained everything, followed up with me in casting and X-ray, and acknowledged my fears about the cost of surgery. I was thankful and lucky to see Dr. Rodner and the resident that day. Highly recommend both of them.

    Dr. Rodner and his resident were outstanding in assessing my issue, explaining the causes and outlining a treatment plan. They are tops.
