Great team
Goes above and beyond to help improve the patients quality of life!
Dr. Jolley was wonderful. However, the staff either at the front desk or the nurse I saw in the room were very incompetent and rude. I was referred to SS, and with me came pages of medical documentation. I filled out multiple sheets of paper for SS as well as provided my driver’s license. All of the documents read FEMALE for my sex/gender. I happen to have a buzz cut, but I am a woman. I am not male. Whoever was responsible for typing my information onto the chart assumed I was male because of my haircut and did not take an extra second to read the MULTIPLE pages they had that say FEMALE. Furthermore, the nurse (Cindy) asked if I was transitioning when I brought this to her attention. This was such an untactful way to go about resolving the issue. Overall, truly disappointed with this staff. Perhaps a sensitivity training or reading paperwork would help future patients.
He made my epidural as easy and painless as possible! It still hurt but he talked me through it and made me feel comfortable
I’m very happy to be Dr Jolly’s patient and have been with him since 2008, when l had my first fusion L-5. I give him a five Star
