This doctor was very patient with me as I've had problems with doctors in The Villages that's why I came to us Orthopedics in Ocala. My primary care doctor at Centerville in The Villages did not diagnose my problem correctly. The x-ray department at this facility did not do correct X-rays of both my feet. Luckily this doctor ordered more X-rays of my feet and the x-ray department here was excellent
