William Newell, M.D.
Dr, Newell was friendly and personable. He took the time to try to understand what could be causing my chronic pain, and then, using numerous, quite entertaining analogies, explained what could be happening and all the options available for treatment. No doctor I’ve ever been to has taken such a thorough approach. I am very happy I had the opportunity to meet and, hopefully, work with Dr. Newell going forward!
Nicholas DeCarlo, PA-C
Nicholas was very professional and easy to talk to. He explained the injury to my foot and the steps to be taken to start the healing process.
Alex Mikhail, PA

Ben Denenberg, DPM
E for extraordinary!
Yu Chui, D.O.
Dr. Chui is a personable, thorough and highly professional Doc. His communication skills are top notch. This visit is to redo hip injections, ill-placed by a different Doc. Dr Chui gave me injections in 2022; the pain was 100% relieved. Dr. Chui is the best!
David Sowa, M.D.
I had surgery on a Friday afternoon and had difficulty filling my pain medication prescription at Walmart, as Walmart’s controlled drug policy is not the same as that of Medicare. Dr Sowa called several times between my daughter (whose mobile voice mail was full) and myself (my ringer was still off as I had just been discharged! I returned his call and he answered very kindly and called Walmart Pharmacy right away to change from 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours to 1 tablet every 4 hours. The pharmacist could then fill the prescription promptly! He just called me (Saturday morning) and was kind, professionally friendly, and shared very quickly what work he had done! In the office and at surgery he stays very focused and quiet! I believe he cannot keep the office or surgery schedule on time by engaging in chit chat! I definitely appreciate and completely respect that! I have no hesitancy in being in his care again and referring him. Saturday mid morning, my broken bone feels great!
Ben Denenberg, DPM
He is absolutely wonderful. He really cares about you as a patient
Joseph Straight, M.D.
It was a blessing going to Dr.Straight. May God continue to bless him and use him in a special way... He is a God sent.
Deborah Hughes, PA
Very detaile oriented and professional
Scott Newcomb, D.P.M.
Took the time to listen and carefully diagnose, even ordering additional X-rays to confirm. Also very patient with numbing before procedure.
