Procedure went well better than I thought it would Dr was friendly. The nurse was extremely nice she explained everything to me before the Dr came in the room she really put me at ease. I really appreciate her taking the time with me
Exceptional! When placed in the room I was made at ease. Prepped & ready for Dr James. He explained what he was doing in layman’s terms, thank you sir. Nvr sugar coated if I was to feel discomfort, very patient.
He explains everything so you understand what’s going on. Excellent doctor!
Dr. James works with confidence and explained my procedure that he will perform with concise explanations. Which makes it easy for me to understand, (I'm no doctor) and then I am the one left with all the confidence that my procedure performed by Dr. LJ was a perfect 10!
The procedure went very well Dr. James, and Heather were very polite and courteous. They explained things to me very nicely and in detail. I had a couple questions they answered them.
He is wonderful ❤️. Relieved me of my pain, I could not take any more suffering. He is worth the wait. Very understanding.
Excellent

I think GOD brought him to me. Friendly and polite.
Staff is wonderful. Dr. James is extremely friendly and always explains things in detail, answers all questions. Truly awesome. My only issue is there is almost an hour wait from the the time of the appointment till you actually see the Dr. Thank you Dr. James I truly appreciate you
