Well organized and accommodating. Dr. Curtis is kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and experienced. He took the exact right amount of time to ask questions, describe the issues and options.
It was great to finally be validated about chronic back pain of years. It is nice to know my quality of life can be returned.
