Dr Craig was very knowledgeable. He quickly diahniy my thumb paint and told me he would give me a cortisone injection and assured me this would help. I did not have to wait long to see him. He was very punctual. My visit was less than 30 minutes

Went for treatment for carpal tunnel on both wrists due to excessive knitting and crocheting. Dr. Craig was knowledgeable and personable. Had x-rays and received cortisone shots. Also, fast check-in and check-out.
