Dr. Dickinson is the best! His assistant who gave me my cortisone shot in my knee was amazing as well. I never felt a thing! At my previous doctor’s they were not gentle and the shot stung badly. This office is the best and gave me a lot of valuable information going forward! Thank you with...

I had a pleasant experience at very busy office. Got there on time and was greeted by the friendly assistant at the front. She appreciated that I checked in before my appointment. They were running a bit behind since there were so many appointments scheduled, but patience is the name of the game. Once I got into the room the doctor was kind, welcoming and gave me a clear direction of his expectation and the steps I needed to take to streamline my injury and recovery. Very happy with this visit given the circumstance. Thank you.
