She explained to me the results from my MRI, the fact that I have arthritis and the best short term course of action would be a cortisone shot. I received the shot, and am happy to report that my pain and mobility have already improved. I trust her knowledge and experience!

I really enjoyed Dr. Long evaluating my left arm irritation. I would be glad to have her as my permanent physician. Dr. Long talking of my options helped me better understand what I could do to nurse my hurts. Dr. has a great bedside manner and I truly will enlist her in the future if needed. Thank You Dr. Long!
