“Insightful and Professional”
Dr Derrington’s focus is truly about helping the patient. He listened to my medical history, all the avenues I’ve tried (many), and never made me feel rushed or unimportant. Everything and everyone was very professional and I will definitely continue to recommend him to friends and clients as well as continuing to use him myself.

“Fantastic and helpful”
Healed my grade 2 LCL tear completely, after two unsuccessful PRP injections from a different provider. Completely back to normal with jiujitsu, surfing, and weight lifting.

“I felt he was a caring doctor and knowledgeable.”
Very good initial exam and diagnosis. The PRP injections were painful. I've had health problems since, maybe coincidentally, but still not diagnosed.
