Excellent service

Alex was kind and caring but most of all he listened to me when I explained some specific issues that I am concerned about. He immediately begin to focus not only on helping me with my shoulder issues but helping also to elevate the pain in my neck and the tingling and numbness I have experienced periodically in my lips, face and fingers since last November. He did not push my concerns on the back burner but incorporated them into my treatment plan. I appreciate his attention to all my concerns as I feel they are currently negatively impacting my quality of life and possibly impeding my complete recovery from my fall. He is knowledgeable and his attentiveness to his patients is excellent. I believe he is an excellent asset to Orthopedic Specialists of NC.

Alex was AWESOME! I learned so many practical tips, learned lots about the human anatomy, and how it all works, and he was able to fit in exercises, guidance, and was able to do a little bit of manual work to alleviate some tightness and pain. I so appreciate him being able to understand my situation so quickly and help me a great deal in one hour. Thanks, Alex! Hope to see you again soon.!

Alex has been excellent in constantly coming up with new, creative exercises that challenge and strengthen my core. If I am experiencing any Sciatica, I let him know what activity triggered it and he devises a custom routine to pinpoint those exact muscles & tendons. Really glad to have Alex as my long-time therapist !!! He is also very personable and friendly.
