Evan Rhea is very good at what he does .. I have been coming to him for many years
Dr. Rhea is an awesome doctor. His bedside manor and caring manor is excellent. This makes you know you're in good hands. Staff is also excellent.
Does great work.
On time. Quickly reviewed issues. Decided to start with cortizone shot. Discussed follow up plans if that does not work. Pain was almost immediately reduced. After 24 hours pain is still present but significantly down. Have a full month of hard work, should pain persist will reengage for next steps.
Great all around visit!
Very professional and knowledgeable person
Dr Rhea was excellent in my first visit with him and helped me make a plan for my knee pain treatment.
