Dr. King was thorough in his analysis of past medical records. He provided hope for my condition and a roadmap that considers many options, should one path not be successful. He also gave me a referral to a colleague who can provide treatment closer to my current location. I am looking forward to seeing how that works out, as I was assured he has similar treatment knowledge and philosophies. Dr. King gave me a sufficient amount of time to discuss my concerns and the facts. Should I need surgery in the future, I may call upon him, even though there is a bit of a distance. His expertise paired with the Cleveland Clinic is highly desirable.

Dr. King is fantastic. He was recommended me by my wife. He was extremely friendly, thorough, and effective. I had been suffering from shoulder pain for almost a year and was afraid that I would have to wait even after this appointment for some treatment, I was delighted when Dr. King proposed and conducted an injection that provided almost immediate relief. Dr. King also did an excellent job explaining to me the physiology of the shoulder joint and what was causing the various pains I had. He also talked me through the x-rays which had been taken months ago but which I had not seen. A great caregiver!!!

Dr. King was the best doctor I have interacted with a long time, if ever. He was so personable and kind. He cared about me as a person and was not just focused on my issue with my wrist. I also did not feel rushed. He listened to what I had to say. I wish he was my primary care physician. I often feel like a walking dollar sign to doctors and not cared for as a human being (I understand they are often rushed and stressed, etc. but still). However, this was not the case with Dr. King. I'm just really grateful to get help from a compassionate and knowledgable doctor. Other doctors could learn from him!
