    Dr Paisley really knows is stuff and has helped me through several physical conditions that required in-office treatment, referral to physical therapy or surgery. Every time the treatment was a success. But most of all, he is a great people person. He relates to his patients, knows how to communicate and fully explains what is going on and treatment options. He is one of the good guys.

    I saw Dr Paisely when I was 66 years old with back and hip pain. His care, treatment, and exercises that I received from him have kept me going for the past 9 years. I'm now 75 years old (with older pain) and once again I needed to reach out for medical help and advice. Dr. Paisley was the first Dr that I looked for. He is professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. You're in good hands having him as your doctor... I feel very lucky to be one of his patients.
