I love Dr George! His knowledge and treatment have changed my life. He has good interpersonal skills and is attentive to my issues. Approximately 4 years ago I was in a Wheel chair because of my discs in Lumbar spine. I could onlShow morey stand for the most 3 to 5 minutes. I cried all the time because of the severe pain I experienced when I stood. For the past few years, he has given me injections into my back and it is like a miracle. I am so grateful I have found him and you will be too.
my visit included a new procedure checking strength of my hands, arms and legs with a Technician. After this I saw Dr. George and told him I had a great deal of pain in my right knee area and he agreed I should have a shot but I hShow moreave to come in for another appointment to have this done. I don't understand why tis is necessary and very inconvenient, especially since I have a lot of pain now. I have to wait a week for another appointment.

Everyone one was pleasant and helpful.Dr explained everything in detail.
When I arrived the nurse at the desk upfront greeted me and a few minutes later I went into to the exam room where a nurse came in took my blood pressure and temperature. I waited alittle until she returned to accompany me to the procedure room. The nurses there helped me to get on the table and then Dr. George came in and gave me the epidural steroids I needed. All of the staff was helpful and courteous.
