Dr. K. after a very brief hands off exam, gave me a steroid injection. That injection did nothing for my neck pain and the injection site caused more pain for days. No follow up or further evaluation. Disappointed with the care I received.

Very intelligent but I felt empty handed when I left, they take my insurance for a talk but no procedures, just felt like my insurance was not good enough to go further, was thinking 4 herniated disc in my neck is no big deal but I’m always in pain, referred me to a dr who might take my insurance. Once upon a time the staff at reception usually help you find a dr or surgeon but pretty much said good luck and have fun looking for a practice …
