        My visit with Dr. Siska was very informative and direct. He listened to what happened regarding my fall and after review of films in which he allowed me to see what they showed so that I would understand what areas were injured. He assessed my movability and asked questions of where my pain was. He patiently listened and explained why I have the injury that I have and why I'm feeling the pain. I feel that Dr. Siska provided me with good treatment options. Of course I was glad I had no breakage or fractures. He also patiently explained any risks to me and encouraged exercises needed to help with healing. I was very pleased with the care that I received from start to finish. Radiologist Debbie was very thorough and patient with making sure she got the necessary films to provide to Dr. Siska.
