Knowledgeable and prompt
From the receptionist to the physician, I was treated with respect. Dr Lifrak's procedure is always done without discomfort. I was seen on time and follow up appointment was at my convenience
It was my first visit. Staff very friendly and helpful. Doctor very personable and helpful. Directed me to another southcoast doctor who could correct my problem.
The doctor saw me in a timely manner. After he saw me he went out to get paperwork that describes pre surgery excersises and paperwork pretaining to strenthening my leg as well as my whole body helping to make me fit for knee replacement.He showed me a knee model and explained the difference between a partial ( which I have in my right knee) and a full replacement that I'm being scheduled for.This was the first time I'd seen such a model, and told what I was looking at.
My experience was such a good one from beginning to end. The receptionist was friendly and efficient, the xray tech was patient with me a senior citizen.Doctor Lifrak explained everything in a manner I understood about my concerns. The entire appointment was completed in a very timely manner because of their professionalism.
