This was the 3rd time that I have seen Dr. TURNBULL and each time was for a different issue. All visits were excellent that is why I go back to him if I have a problem.

Dr. Turnbull was kind and did the best he could to help me. He gave me an injection in my knee, which was not too bad and it is helping already and it’s only been one day. They were also fantastic about helping me get a referral to one of the neurosurgeons for my back. I already got a call today to schedule the MRI just one day later!

Very pleased with my visit with the doc and his team. Got to the office 40 minutes before my scheduled appointment and was seen by the doc and out of the building before my scheduled time to start. Very efficient. Needed a cortisone shot for my knee and it is working very well.
