Glenn is very thorough and knowledgeable, and really took the time to listen to my problem. I think the office has some scheduling issues though - he didn't arrive at the office until over an hour after my appointment was supposed to begin.

His office staff were very friendly. He was helpful with my complaint and offered therapy services to help me with additional pain relief. The PT was great! Very great experience overall!
