I appreciate knowing that we are working together as a team for the best care for me personally. Dr. Junkins is fantastic and I appreciate his kindness and gentle manner. I feel complete confidence in his care. I appreciate being part of the solution and the honesty in which I am treated.

The only difficulty I experienced during my last lidocaine infusion visit was that Dr. Junkins wanted me to return in five weeks; however, I do not think he was aware he would not be in the office that week. When I went to the front desk to schedule my next infusion appointment, I was told Dr. Junkins would be on leave in five weeks and was only given appointment dates in six weeks. Once again, the only appointment times offered were midday on a Tuesday and Friday.

Dr. Junkins, Dr. Etringer, Lynn (my team), and Chris were all so helpful and empathic as I struggled with a difficult situation which seems to exacerbate my pain level greatly. They helped me stay calmer and offered a helping hand that was 'sorely' needed. Lynn worked with both my leg and shoulder pain; the positive difference with my shoulder this week was very surprising.
