    Dr English she is the best I really like her the way she explains things! The day I went in she did not give me any shots because she knew there was something else going on. So she scheduled some additional therapy as well as going as far as contacting my insurance to make sure they're covered the shots that she gave me on a Friday so I was very pleased with that.
