Dr James is great. He is kind, very knowledgeable and a seasoned physician. He really sets a wonderful example for all of his peers and patients.
Great doctor. I highly recommend him.
Very pleased with this doctor however they can’t get me back in for the procedure to helptill the end of February and March and I’m very upset that I have to be in this much pain for that long
The staff at the pain management office is always top notch. Really appreciate how they take such good care of the patients. Dr. James listens to your concerns and helps you make informed decisions for your care. I live 45 miles from this office, but would not entertain going anywhere else. Wait times have improved, but this location is very busy and typically ends up 30 minutes behind schedule. Whenever you are dealing with so many patients things can get hectic, but they always organized and do the best. Thank you, Dr. Jame and all the support staff.
Very competent and professional. Knows his stuff and clearly describes what to expect.
Fast and efficient.
Very good. Efficient
Very knowledgeable & explained everything well. Did not feel rushed- I left his office feeling confident with the care plan we discussed. He was very personable & greeted me with a handshake. 🤗
Dr James is a great orthopedic doctor! He always knows what to do for my back pain and if it involves injections, him and the nurse always stay engaged in conversation with you to keep you from thinking about the huge needle he’s about to put in you :-) He has a caring and friendly personality and his staff does too!
I'm so truly blessed to have Dr James he's so amazing and has a truly amazing bedside manner he truly cares about his patients and the entire staff is amazing as well I'm so grateful to have such an amazing group 🙏 God bless each and everyone of you!!!
