    Dr. Newman was very easy to talk to. He explained everything that he thought was going on and told me what the best thing to do would be. He had explained it clearly enough so that it was easy for me to understand and easy for me to okay. And he took plenty of time talking to me and my wife was pleasant, was with me. So we both were of the same mind. He's a very good doctor from our experience and we would certainly go back to him if the need were there. So thank you.

    Dr. Newman was very engaging, allowed my daughter to attend this visit via Iphone to help navigate questions and other pertinent thoughts that I did not think of. Dr. Newman throughly explained the Chrondroid lesion [redacted] and alleviated any fears of cancer. Encouraged that I did not need to limit any daily activities or life changes. Made a follow up appointment with imaging for 1 year out. I left this visit feeling heard and encouraged that this finding was a fluke (picked up from a chest x-ray) and that I have probably had this chrondroid for most of my life. I would highly recommend him.

    Dr Newman is patient and communicative. He showed us X-rays of the portion of my leg that had surgery. He answered my questions and was quick to check out a new symptom that I was having. Once he couldn't find a cause and thinking it was chemo related, he asked me to share that with my oncologist. I am walking again, pain free, thanks to Dr Newman's surgical expertise and follow up care. I would recommend him to anyone who needs orthopedic surgery.
