Dr. Stahle is amazing. Best I've felt in YEARS, and I work out frequently and with varying complexities and intensities. I am doing things now that I never would've envisioned years ago. I can't say enough how easy it is to deal with him and the staff. Very professional and accomplished. I feel very secure with Dr. Stahle concerning sports medicine.
