I was told I needed a hip replacement and that I would be scheduled for an appointment to speak with a surgeon. We did not discuss options, risk or anything else. I've found that some providers....only give information when asked and I didn't think to ask many questions during the appointment.

Dr. Barley and his athletic trainers are amazing, on and off the field! I love that your Athletic Trainers at the school can continue protocols and treatments as if they're always being seen in a clinical environment.

I liked this provider instantly. He took time listening to me and answered my questions. He showed me the xray that was taken and explained to me my condition. I enjoyed the eye contact as it is very important to me.
