Dr. James was knowledgeable about my prior test results. He administered a cortisone injection (my first), taking time to explain the procedure. I am already feeling MUCH less pain. I should have done this sooner.

I recommended Dr James to my brother in-law, he also likes seeing Dr James.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/10/2025
Dr. James was very informative and straightforward, and laid out two paths of treatment for my needs. I appreciated him giving me all the information I needed in order to make an informed decision. The visit felt a little rushed and impersonal to me. While I appreciate time efficiency in seeing me and getting me back out the door, I felt a little like his attention wasn't completely on me and my health issue, but rather on getting out the door to the next patient. He was kind, courteous, and respectful in our conversation, and I appreciated his knowledge and expertise to speak to my questions.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/4/2025
