Michelle took a lot of time in discussing my medical history and was so helpful in making suggestions and formulating a plan of action. I look forward to wishing with her!

I felt he was really great on explaining and the risk and helpful, because I really don’t care to take pain meds but I am lacking sleep so bad , he didn’t try to get me to take all day just something to help me get some much needed sleep.

Linda

Adam Brewer, PA-C is friendly easy to communicate with. Knowledge about giving alternatives to my condition other than want to recommend surgery. That’s the kind of physician I prefer to deal with.

Dr. Rion is a very professional yet personable doctor. He really cares about his patients and even gave me a sample of medication which my insurance wouldn’t pay for. He’s a keeper.

Phyllis

Dr. Rion is very professional and pleasant. He has been doing injections in both my knees for several years. When I have knee replacements, he will certainly be my surgeon of choice.

Dr Watson listens when I explained to him the issues I was having with pain in my back. He then carefully studied my symptoms and diagnosed my problem and then treated my issue without surgery and now my back is 100% better.
