I was able to make an appointment within a couple of days which was great because I was in severe back pain. Dr. Maslak listened to what symptoms I was experiencing and thought I could be treated with medication and PT. I was able to get an MRI scheduled right away and PT started the following day. I'm very happy with my experience with everyone at this office!
