He has my complete trust cause he's good at what he does. Even though I get injections around my spine or wherever needed, I'm never nervous, & that says it all.
Great doctor, excellent bedside manner, I am in so much better shape than I was when I first saw Dr. Dade. Highly recommend.
My treatment started in March 2026 and due to complexity of my situation, my treatment is still ongoing. I notice improvement and will continue my treatment with Dr. Dade. Again, my injury was not a simple one spot injury but multiple factors and areas that Dr. Dade has been working on deliberately. Thank you Dr. Dade.
"Dr. Dade is honest, knowledgeable, and straight-forward about treatment options. The procedure was quick, and the pain relief has been better than I ever expected."
