Professional, knowledgeable, friendly. Took the time to explain everything. Asked specific questions and actually listened to the answers (refreshing, really).

On my first visit the provider offered hope for my health needs. On my scheduled visit for spinal injections, my hopes were shattered. I just cried and walked out. I will not return. I just had my hopes shattered.

He explained the procedure to me what he was going to do very clearly so aware and ready for the process. I wasn't scared and ready. It was done pretty quickly and every step explained. It hurt a tiny bit but was so happy to have had the shot.
