    Yes, I was very pleased with Dr. Aitken. I had been to him once before. He treated both my hands. I have arthritis really bad. I got an injection in both thumbs. And today I am much better. And I would recommend him and, of course, I will continue to go to him. And I think King's Daughters is a great place.

      But it would be better if the doctor that did my surgery would write a prescription for my pain med and give it to me when leaving his office instead of having to venture out with my injury to get a prescription from a family doctor. Thank you. Bye.

      The doctor did not listen to me. I told him I could not step up with my left leg alone. I had to go right and then step up with my left to my right. I had to let my weight bear my right leg. And he did not listen to what I said. Thank you.

      Dr. Aitken is a very wonderful and professional man, but also has a very friendly manner, and he describes everything very well, takes his time, and is very, I guess I would say, optimistic. So anyway, I would certainly pass the word along and refer him. Thank you.

      Yes, this is my initial visit to King's Daughter Hospital facility for any procedure. Most of the time I have always used Marshall Health. I came about finding about Dr. Aitken or however you say it, I'm not saying it correctly, by word of mouth. The reason I gave him an aide is because on the initial question, is this the first time I have ever met the man? I understand what he told me and he was very thorough and I'm very pleased with the information that I got. I just have to make a decision that is best for me. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
