Not Enough Stars.
Dr. Montgomery and his staff made me feel like I was a priority to them, and that my wellbeing mattered and they weren’t just doing their job. They went above and beyond by making sure I was OK and I understood everything that was to take place. I unfortunately also have problems with my left hand as well. He and his staff immediately addressed it and relieved my pain as much as they could, and for that I am truly grateful. I said it before, and I will say it again the world would be a better place if everyone ran their business and treated people the way, Dr. Montgomery and his staff does.

First visit
Reception area was bright and people were cheerful and accommodating. Took me back in no time for X-ray. I was brought to the exam room were I was asked questions by nurse, she exited saying she will let Doctor know I’m ready. 45 min later Doctor came in. I thought they had forgot about me. He Was helpful but not very cheerful. Hope he has a better day..
