I was very impressed with the young lady who provided me with the evaluation and care. As a retired engineer, I was impressed with how she compared the movement of our fingers with mechanical qualities that were easy to understand. My provider was very professional, thorough, and included me in making an informed decision on which direction of care to go in. Very impressed!
