The provider was caring and professional and made sure that I could understand where the fracture was in my knee.
Dr Stenquist was so professional and very reassuring. He explained things in a very calming manner. I was very impressed by my experience at MGH.
He was very pleasant, explained why I would be referred to another physician who fortunately was able to see me that day.
Thank you!
