He does an excellent job of making sure to walk us thru everything. My son is a college baseball player and I would recommend any athlete in need of pain management care while rehabilitating from injury use him. He is thorough and caring but most importantly he gets results. Thanks for helping our family out,
Dr. James, Chris and the staff are excellent!
Was very happy with the experience. Thank you
The staff is professional but also they make you feel at ease. Dr. James Makes you feel at ease too and is the best Dr. In Port Charlotte.
Everyone was very kind and courteous and I didn’t have to wait long for the procedure
I have chronic lower back pain going down my butt, both sides and down my left leg front back all the way down to my feet. Dr. JAMES has done an ablation which really hasn’t helped and now is going to set me up for other injections going down lower than my L34 and five. He thinks there’s a possibility that I have Post laminectomy syndrome. If these other injections that I’ll be scheduled for don’t work there’s something with a stimulator that might be a possibility. He’s an excellent doctor. Glad that there is more He’s going to try to help me with. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Dr James is the best. He listens and explaines carefully.
He’s the best ⭐️
As usual, he’s the best and listens to your concerns!!
After being away for three years it was a relief to be able to see Dr. James again for my back issues.
