The receptionist was so polite and so helpful and so very nice I truly enjoyed that. Also the lady that does the x-rays the nicest.

They all were straight shooter's and honest. They didn't go around in circles like alot do just to get your money. I wasn't told that yes that would absolutely work knowing that it wouldn't . So I would waste gas and money to come back over and over again. They were very honest and I absolutely appreciate that and I would refer them to everyone. I'm 56 years old and haven't had a pleasant experience like this visit was. And it WASN'T because I got to hear the NEWS that I wanted to HEAR .

I can't say enough good things about Dr Starnes, he is informative, listens well, is relatively painless, I've been getting injections in my wrist for years, no one is used any devices to pinpoint where they're giving me the injections It was basically hit or miss, Dr Starnes used ultrasound to pinpoint where the injection would be most effective, They used to only last a few months but with targeted injections my last one lasted 8 months I'm so impressed, relieved that I can go long periods of times now without the bones rubbing together and causing me to be debilitated.
