Great visit as always. I always get in on time and actually yesterday I got in much earlier since I got there earlier than expected. All the personnel is great. Shots in the trigger fingers don’t feel so great at the time, but not having them pop now is wonderful. Thank you for your wonderful care andservice.

Very courteous. He answered all my questions. He gave me some options to decide if I wanted to have surgery. I did not feel rushed at all. The injection in my right hand has already made a difference.
