Went in for initial appointment and I was called into office after 5 minutes of waiting. Once in exam room I waited about 5 more minutes and Dr Ansari came in to speak with me. Dr. Ansari was personable, friendly, kind. He layed out the treatment options explaining each one very easy to understand. I was able to make a quick decision of which option would work for me. All hands on deck were then moving to arrange for the decision, and it was thorough and efficient. Dr Ansari has a kind bedside manner as well as a thorough knowledge of his work as a doctor. This office is a very well run office, which instills confidence in working together with them.

Dr. Ansari performed a labrum repair, cleaned up a rotator cuff tear, and removed a bone spur in my right shoulder. I was in pain for a year before I sought help and after post-op pain subsided, it's been life changing to be pain free! His bed side manor is wonderful and the staff at Resurgens have been great! I'd recommend him 10 times out of 10!

Dr Ansari and his team are always super informative. I like the fact that they don’t immediately jump to a surgical solution. They have the patients best long-term interests in mind.
