If i could give all of the staff 10 stars i would. This office is FAR superior to the ortho doc my husband sees.
Verified patient
He seemed quite knowledgeable. Gives advice in the best interest of me. Came to a quick conclusions to what was wrong and agreed the more extreme method should be a last resort of 2 weeks of this current treatment.
