Today was my first ever visit to Emerg Ortho. Everyone I encountered was Polite, Professional, & Punctual. I received an injection for low back pain, possible pinched nerve.. My symptoms have improved already. While I realize there may be more issues that have not yet been fully identified I can say this much...today I left Emerg Ortho feeling better than when I arrived😊 & I have Dr Cope & his teammates to thank for my experience and treatment.
