While I agree Dr Chimes is condescending and could use coaching on how to show respect, I can get past that. What troubles me is his unwillingness to listen, because that impacts the quality of care. I experienced a pattern of being shut down when answering questions, having him make wrong assumptions. While analytical, he eliminates a critical information source, the patient. Unless you are comfortable that you'll get great outcomes with, stubborn, one-way communication, I'd look elsewhere.
Great job getting me back on the tennis court ASAP! Very professional!!!!
I visited Dr Chimes with a frozen shoulder, at the time I could hardly lift my arm above my head and pain would shoot down my arm if I moved quickly. Dr Chimes conducted an ultrasound guided injection in my shoulder. The result was 90% improvement in range of motion and I was pain free. The procedure took about 15 minutes with counseling earlier in the same appointment then a follow up visit about a month later. With subsequent pain-free physical therapy I was able to regain full range.
My experience with Dr Chimes was terrific. He took his time and asked the questions to narrow the search to locate my injury and begin the healing process. I am well underway to recovery and I am feeling great and sleeping again.
Thorough explanations of all the complications related to my sports injury and back problems. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Dr Chimes is an excellent physician. He is very thorough, intelligent and took a broad approach to assessing my pain. He is a thoughtful communicator and was able to clarify the diagnosis that day by doing an ultrasound in his office. I appreciated that the initial plan focused on enhangincing health thru exercise, PT, nutrition and possible PRPP rather than surgery. . Overall would highly recommend him.
from start to finish, my experience with Dr. Chimes & his staff was polite, informative and friendly. I walked away with a understanding of the extent of my injury, what methods to use in the healing process and some tips on how to be proactive in preventing further injury. I will definitely refer friends to Dr. Chimes.
Talks down to people and doesn't listen. He uses a nice tone and says nice words, but then will shut you down if you have a reasonable questions. Hard to trust this guy
I could not be happier with the care that Dr. Chimes provided. He spent a great deal of time with me examining and then explaining my frozen shoulder problem. He provided an in the office ultrasound guided procedure that fixed my shoulder! I was scheduled for an exploratory surgery by another provider, but on the advice of my therapist I was directed to Dr. Chimes care. As a medical provider myself, I was very impressed with his care. I am now a raving fan and recommend him to all.
