“Dr Gladstone listened, figured out what I needed immediately and got me set up with the imaging I need and a specialist better suited to my care (he’s shoulder and arm, and my issue originates in my neck/spine).”
Amy V.More than 1 year ago
“I would definitely go back.
Everyone was first rate, especially Magdalena who saw that I was in pain and did everything possible to ensure that I was seen quickly. She even wheeled me in a wheelchair and got me a badly-needed taxi cab, with another staffer.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for going above and beyond!!!!!!!
