David Rockwell Review

COASTAL REGION PATIENT

Dr. Rockwell was very concerned with my knee problem, asked a lot of diagnostic questions, and acted quickly and deftly to relive my pain. He checked on me a few days later to see if I was recovering as expected. I would definitely see him again with complete confidence.
