  • My entire experience was top notch. Every single person in this office was professional, polite, understanding and helpful. I was feeling defeated with other providors prior to my visit here but as soon as I came here there was so much willingness to find answers and find out what was going on with my extreme knee pain. I am forever grateful

  • I'm not sure that she took my concern about not having as much of my bicep available to me moving forward as I think she should have. In fact, I'm almost positive when I said on two occasions, my muscle is half gone. And I am almost positive I saw her somewhat smirk as if she thought it was odd that I would care about what I look like and my ability to perform the tasks that I normally... I don't think she took it all in ?

    2026-07-24
