Best doctor ever !!! Will listen and take time for all problems !!! Never rushers you !!! Absolutely a great doctor !!!
Explained everything and made me feel comfortable. So happy to start Cortazon shots for my neck pain.
Very gentle, explains everything before the procedure and is always concerned about my well-being.
Takes to long to get an appointment.
He is the best
Dr James is the best! He's excellent at what he does and his staff is incredible as well!
First time here. Hardly anytime waiting before being called back to room.. then in no time Dr. James comes in and ask where it hurt the most. Found the pressure points on me and then explained and showed pictures of what is happening to help me understand better. Really appreciated the time he took to explain every thing to me and even the procedure they would be performing. I would rate 100% out of 10% being the highest. Thanks Dr James and all the staff--- Super top rated. They go beyond the extra mile..
