Review for Dr. Woods

I essentially had a clawed hand starting because of nerve issues. After surgery I could see a big difference. Dr Miller is very patient and does not rush out the door.

Review for Dr. Miller

Dr. Sonevytskey was kind, patient and thorough. He came up with a plan to get to the source of my neck pain. The PA did examine me first and he did well also. I am very pleased that he decided to do a MRI.
