For those of us who lack medical training, I suppose it’s impossible to properly assess the quality of care we receive other than by whether or not our condition improves and often that has nothing to do with the quality of care. For that reason, I won’t comment on Dr. Nelligan other than to say he is very personable and I’m glad I went to see him. In our first meeting he took the time to get my complete medical background and asked a number of probing questions that helped him in his diagnosis. I went in fully expecting to be told I would need a hip replacement but we are starting with a program of stretching and exercises that he thinks will solve my problem. I suggest anyone in need of orthopedic care get in touch with him.
