Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2023
Call for a follow-up and due some discomfort issues in the area. Easy to setup an appointment. Minimal wait time, both in reception and in the treatment room. Got several x-rays that were quickly uploaded. The Doctor and his associate arrived fairly quickly. We reviewed the x-rays, discussed my muscle issue and its connection to recent snow shoveling. No issue with the x-rays and the surgery site. Suggested stretching before shoveling and if the discomfort occurred again to try to get in closer to the occurrence.
