Dr Lee James is very friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful! His staff is enjoyable and enthusiastic!
Dr James is totally empathetic to my pain in my hip and sciatica. He is always searching for answers to relieve the pressure and pain in my hip so that I am able to walk with less pain. He works well with all his staff and provides patients with the best care possible. That’s why his waiting room is always full!
