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.

Persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, numbness, weakness, decreased mobility, or symptoms resulting from a fall or injury should be evaluated promptly.

Telehealth is useful for initial assessment, pain management, and follow-ups, though hands-on physical examination may be required for diagnosis.

If pain increases, mobility decreases, or new symptoms such as numbness or weakness develop, you should seek a follow-up evaluation as soon as possible.
