Did my rotator cuff 6 yrs ago & I have felt like new ever since. He recently gave me a shot in my other shoulder & I felt nothing. He is awesome!!
He was very patient and informative! I knew everything I needed to know when I left! He broke everything down to me and assured me that if I followed his orders I’d be better!
Answered all my questions. Explained and showed me the X-ray he had me do. Made a referral for me.
Dr Slappey is great! He listens to my concerns and gives me honest answers.
Pleasant and experienced!
Him and the staff was very professional and nice..
Dr.Slappy and his staff I would definitely recommend.
Excellent interaction with pt.
The best time management I have ever seen in a medical practice!
Dr. Slappey is always very kind, courteous, and caring. He reviews your problem with you, and makes sure you understand what you should be doing to help with it. I highly recommend Dr. Slappey.
