I liked his enthusiasm and giving me an option for my pain in my neck I did forget to ask him how long an epidural shot would last. Would appreciate someone telling me as I’m 200 plus miles from Sioux Falls & wouldn’t be able to come very often.

What a breath of fresh air. It was amazing to be listened to and to be validated that my pain was real. Was very patient and I think we’ve got a good plan..
