John Shepard was professional and informative. The treatment he prescribed has already reduced the pain in my foot within the first 24 hours of when I was seen at the clinic. John, as well as everyone who cared for me that day i.e. nurse, radiology technician and Ariana at the front desk were professional, pleasant, great communicators with positive attitudes. That is why I always find myself going back to Raleigh Ortho for my orthopedic needs. Many thanks to all of you for truly being dedicated professionals!
