Testimonials
Only place I will go always take care of my problems
Malyssa is simply wonderful, very thorough and answered all my questions. . I received a cortisone injection in my shoulder and never felt a thing! The best
Malyssa, the PA who helped me, is fantastic. She took time to explain the X-rays to me and offered several options for treatment. I never felt rushed. Thank you.
Melyssa is awesome ! She is very friendly and informative.
You were right! I need to come in and get the Cortizone shot and get it over with. Even with exercises it doesn't minimize the amount of pain, believe me I've tried you were excellent, you're compassionate and I appreciate that you were so patient with me. I can always tell when the person who's doing their job is really good at it and you are. Thank you
I was having hip pain and wanted an X-ray done. After leaving another urgent care who had no imaging available I drove past this ortho urgent care and decided to stop in. The wait was short and X-rays within15 minutes. The PA Malyssa was professional and caring. She thoroughly evaluated me. I left with a diagnosis, prescription, and PT referral that has me on the way to recovery.
My appointment was promptly scheduled; little to no waiting room wait; pleasant and professional service. The treatment plan steps were outlined and clearly explained. What's more to ask for?
Malyssa was very thorough and listened to my concerns about the extreme pain I was experiencing in my knee. Sharing and explaining my X-rays was very informative and her treatment was so successful!
Malyssa E Chanthasoto was fantastic!!! She listened to my issues and concerns. I was given a cortisone injection and I’m now pain free. Thank you I highly recommend.
