Joel was so friendly & welcoming. He genuinely listened to concerns. He was very thorough & explained everything he thought was going on. He proposed trying some things & for me to be re-seen by one of the spine doctors in a month, if things don’t improve.

Joel did a fantastic job, stitching-up my hand. He, and his associates, made this experience--fun. I was able to laugh through the cleaning, shots and suturing, because Joel knew his stuff and was patient and caring.
