Everyone was very nice along the way. The doctor took lots of time with us and answered all our questions. The trainer was very thorough in teaching my son his exercises to do. I feel like the whole process was quick but not rushed. Very pleased.

The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr Wigal was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns.
