Dr.Laux really cares about his patients,He has been a true blessing!! After giving up hope on getting help with my very complicated conditions,After years of trying to find a real doctor to help my worsening conditions my mother and I came across Dr.Laux with the help of my insurance and made an appointment.I really thought I would hear the same as all the other doctors that saw me as a big mess.After doing x-rays Dr.Laux came in the room and by my surprise we began to almost finish each other’s sentences regarding my conditions,I began to cry I couldn’t believe after all these years I had a doctor that was telling me everything I have been telling all these doctors I have seen for years,I knew I wasn’t crazy and that was the best feeling in the world because we know our own bodies.I finally got the answers that I knew and that was that my spinal surgery I had as a teenager is reversing Dr.Laux immediately saw the deformities in my chest and ribs and I didn’t even show him yet.There is no way possible for me to explain my appreciation for Dr.Laux for treating me like a human that really needs help no matter how complicated my situation is.

It was great. Dr. Laux explained what step needed to be taken next for my sciatica pain and why he thought having a MRI would show if there were any other problems that needed to be addressed.
