In my first visit. I provided the health concerns I had and within 15 minutes Dr. Aalderink provided an explanation for each of my concerns. He was able to physically show my arms ability to move and rule out a Rotator cuff injury with a diagnosis of frozen shoulder. All of the symptoms were clearly explained to me with a n explanation of the duration of my health concern and how to reduce my symptoms. He provided an explanation of arm movements to support healthy ways to increase range of movement. I felt heard and feel his diagnosis made sense to me with all of the explanations he provided. I googled the diagnosis after the visit and everything lined up. I trust Dr. Aalderink and his staff cared about you visit and ensured that I felt confident about the diagnosis provided. I will absolutely encourage others to see him for orthopedic health support.
