I have been dealing with this leg pain for over 5 years and have been tossed too and fro to different providers and specialties to figure out what was going on. Dr. Gee examined all my X-rays and MRIs and got to the bottom of it in one visit!!! I am ever so thankful!! He is a very nice caring provider!

I did not like it when we agreed that the best thing for me is to start with a cortisone shot to relieve the pain I was in, instead of giving me the shot, they book me out a week sent me on my way and I had to deal with the pain on my own for the week which is why I came in the first place that was no fun at all.

Very short first visit, less than 15 minutes. Seemed in a hurry. Treatment options were somewhat described but I had to ask about immediate treatment ie: ibuprofen, heat etc

Curious hierarchy of care providers that I didn't quite understand. I am not an Olympic athlete by any stretch of the imagination, so not a particularly interesting patient I suppose. I am sure tht diagnosis was spot on, concern about future prevention and care less so. Excellent x-ray service. Technician very kind and skillful.

Provider hardly even talked to me. Told me there was nothing of concern in the X-ray and referred me to pt. Then left the room and an assistant came back to escort me out with a referral paper, telling me how to schedule it, and told me the time of my follow up appointment.

X-Rays we're taken and there were no broken bones. The team could see there is a problem, but not sure what's causing it. An MRI has been scheduled to get a better view of what's causing the problem.
