Dr. James is wonderful! I appreciated him taking the time to thoroughly discuss my son’s injury, walk us through his scans and discuss treatment options in depth. I will be switching all of my son’s care to Dr. James from our previous orthopedic office and look forward to watching my child improve with such great care. Thank you Dr. James!
