A little sore on my right hip-maybe some ice will help. Have never had any pain with my previous injections.
Best orthopedic practice ever! Dr. James is awesome. The entire team gets an "A" Wish I knew all their names. Cindy and Allison are rock stars!
Thank you for answering my questions with thoroughness and patience.
Fantastic Doctor , incredible care !
Dr James is great and I would highly recommend him. He explained my condition, helped me with a solution for the pain and was very pleasant. Exactly what you want in your physician.
Very happy with Dr. James. Scheduling seems to be a problem in his office. I waited today for an hour after my scheduled appointment time. They always seem to run very late from the scheduled time of the appointment.
You want an appointment with Dr. James for any Orthopedic problem. He tells you the way it is. Very easy to talk with. And you leave his office with confidence.

Caring and very informative
Easily one of the most compassionate physicians there is. I was in extreme pain from a freak injury and they immediately worked me in and treated me. I am beyond grateful
