Took my elderly mother, who is also a cancer patient there looking for a primary care doctor. I have 30 years of experience under my belt of dealing with medical professionals, and I don't give 5 stars easily. The place was immaculate, and we were greeted with smiles when we walked through the door.

Imaging may be recommended depending on symptom severity, joint deformity, or suspected structural damage. Providers will guide you on whether imaging is necessary.
