Gary Gostnell was very thorough in his explanation for the pain in the left knee. His immediate treatment of a steroid injection eliminated pain and gave me excellent weight bearing on that leg. We discussed future knee replacement surgery, but Gary recommended possible gel injections in the interim Very thorough and professional.

Absolutely FANTASTIC. He took the time to show me xrays not only of my shoulder that I had not gotten to see before , but also my knee I was seeing him about.. Explained them to me in language I could understand. Very thorough and answered all questions and possible steps to take to eliminate or at least lessen my problems and pain. This is the most I have understood what I was being shown and discussed in my 80 years. Just a fantastic experience. Gave me a shot in my shoulder and we anticipated at least a week to ten days for noticeable Improvement, but I can already raise my hand above my head where I could not get It above my shoulder before. Lot less pain now also. I cannot thank this gentleman enough for his care, his insuring I understood everything he was discussing me and his sincere Interest In my health and well being.
