What I loved most was the way the doctor injected my knees. He did it very professionally, and I didn't feel any pain, except for the liquid entering my skin. I'm very happy and grateful for the care I received; it was 100% excellent.

I was involved in an accident on my way to my appointment so I called to let them know. I was late of course so the person I was assigned to had to go ahead with other patients but they worked me in when I got there. I sure was thankful for their understanding and that I was still able to do therapy

Janice was a great nurse! I mentioned that a model of a shoulder would help me see my problem, and she made sure that Dr. Barras brought one in the exam room. It did help, and I appreciated that. Dr. Barras was very thorough and clearly explained my situation. She did not make me feel rushed. I would recommend her based on this first visit.
