I appreciate Dr. Axley’s eye contact when he sees you. His examination is thorough and he tries to help you understand the symptoms. Also, he was very helpful as he explained what to expect in the future. I am thankful we have him here in Opelika.

When I arrived I was shortly taken to a room where an ultrasound was performed. The technician was very efficient and professional and took me to a treatment room to wait for Dr Axley. I sat there for over an hour. When Dr Axley came in with an intern he told me there was nothing wrong with my veins and that there was nothing he could do. He did look at the toe that has been giving me a lot of trouble and recommend that I see a foot doctor, which I had already done. He was also very professional. Actually, he had recommended that I make this appointment at a previous appointment stating that he could fix my reflux problem in my legs. Even though I was glad nothing was wrong, I felt that I could have been given that diagnosis in less than an hour since the procedure that i had come for was unnecessary.
