All went very well.
At first, I questioned why I was seeing a PA instead of a doctor. However, once I met the PA, I felt very comfortable in her ability.
My whole experience was positive.
Really like Laura and how she treats me, answers my questions and makes suggestons. I have recommended Laura to many people.
I was extremely satisfied
Impressed with the complete explanation of my issue, also answering all my questions.
From start to finish my experience was very good in all phases on my visit. Everyone did their jobs with the utmost care, consideration and professionalism.
Laura and staff are my saving grace! I am blessed to have Laura for my medical care. Laura goes over and beyond any and all expectations! I look forward to working w/ Laura for my ortho needs as I do require continued care. I am very pleased!
She did a good job giving the knee injections. It's a concern that if I need surgery it would take months to get it scheduled.
Laura did a great job as usual. While I was just there for an injection she took time to answer any questions I had about not just the injection but other issues I was having. She also takes an interested in me as a person which I love!
A very well coordinated team effort
She is a wonderful PA. I told her that several times when we were talking! I would very much recommend her to any of my friends or relatives!
Very excellent provider. Will be seeing her in future
They went above and beyond to get me a secondary appointment at another facility with staff qualified to perform the preferred/recommended treatment procedure. An hour later I was getting treatment, and feelign much better. I am very appreciative of the extra effort put in by the team.
Everyone from check in, x rays, nurse, Dr, xrays, dr, Brace / pt guy?, and check out Were super amazing!! Felt like I was family, not just a number in a file...
I feel very fortunate to be under Dr. Laura's care. She is top notch in my book. The treatment is already reducing my knee pain.
