      Dr. So was extremely competent, clearly communicated with me in a way I could understand, and showed concern for my pain. I was extremely happy with his conservative treatment approach and felt that I am finally getting long awaited support in managing my spinal conditions.

      All of the support staff were friendly, professional and efficient. My check in process was smooth and I did not wait long to be brought into a room and seen. Front desk team were helpful and kind, and MA performing my vitals and getting me ready to be seen was great. I was very satisfied with the level of care provided at all levels.
