Dr. Oliveira listened and impressed me to be a caring physician. He gave me exercises that have already made a difference in how I can walk with less pain. I hope he stays caring as my previous orthopedic doctor was nice on the first visit and was in a hurry to get to the next patient on my follow up visit. I didn't making much progress with my knee in over a year with that doctor.

Oliveira was excellent. not only did he listen and respond to my current problem, but he looked at notes and results from old visits to another doctor for a problem that wasn't in his specialty field, and he was able to explain that situation better to me, and tied in how that knowledge effects our treatment options. most doctors never even look at drug interactions
