Offices near and clean; welcomed by staff; short wait to be called to the back; the wait for doctor was short; his nurse was friendly and polite.

Dr Pickering showed expertise with my knee replacement! He showed concern and has been awesome in helping me through recovery. I would highly recommend him! He also has good bedside manners which goes a long ways in my book.
