Patient Reviews
Mar 31, 2022
I saw Dr. Wathne for chronic shoulder pain a little over a year ago. I had tried over the counter and herbal anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, ultrasound, prolozone injections, acupuncture, and light therapy. I called his office and the staff was eager to help me and got me in right away for an evaluation. I had a thorough evaluation with imaging right there in his office. After discussing the results and treatment options, he did an injection into my shoulder and I have not had any issues since that day. I have never gone to another clinic where the service was impeccable and the treatment was in the same day. I felt heard, supported, and cared for by Dr. Wathne and all of the staff members from the phone call to checking out. Thank you and I appreciate you all!
