Dr James is top notch! He’s personable, knowledgeable and takes his time to explain everything.
Waited 2 1/2 hours before being seen. Had a 1:00 appointment, didn’t get out of the office until 4:25

Dr Lee James has always come through for me every time I'm in the office he has the utmost professionalism and the nurse also I am so pleased that he is my doctor and I look forward to seeing him again to help me with the pain I have in my neck in the next couple of months! The office and staff is so much more than a 10 thank you guys for everything!
Always concerned about patients comfort and pain and works at doing his best so I don’t leave his office in pain. Saw his NPA Liza today as well. She is awesome too. Highly recommend both for your issues to be addressed and giving options for possible solutions.
