Dana Fanning was excellent. She did an exam of my injuries, referred to the x-rays, and went back and forth like that so that she was sure nothing was overlooked.

Dana is excellent and it is evident right away that she genuinely cares. She spends the time needed to discuss and assess the situation with the patient which does not seem to be the norm these days. Highly recommended.

Deanna is exceptionally empathetic and truly professional. I always walk out feeling that my caregiver is responsive to my particular needs . She is extremely competent. Always demonstrates her understanding of what is going on with me. Deanna can be right out straight with a very busy day but I never feel rushed. She's my idea of a real professional at her chosen discipline!
