The girls at check in were friendly and quick. There was hardly and wait from check in to x-ray to seeing Dr Tifford. I never felt rushed. Dr. Tifford took his time diagnosing me and made the effort to be sure I understood everything that was going on with me. I would recommend him and this office to all.

Dr. Tifford is a great doctor. I really appreciate that he asked me what I thought the best approach to my treatment was before telling me what I had to do and what he thought was best.

The staff is very friendly and warm, still proffesional; Dr Tifford very thorough, and made extra effort to be sure I understood what the problem was, and why. Very happy with the care received, as well as the way the entire staff, from sign in until leaving, made me feel comfortable.

Doctor Tifford is high energy which I love. He came in full of energy was completely attentive when I explained the reason I was there. He was charismatic and patient (answered all my questions and what if scenarios...). He addressed my concerns before I even presented them. I will definitely be back.

Helpful. This was a follow-up to previous visits after receiving a cortizone injection which was very helpful, but due to the serenity of my injury, unfortunately, not perfect. Ill contact Dr. Tifford again if my condition worsens.
