Patient Stories
Amazing Things are Happening Here
It was so impressive how thorough he was. I knew I was in the right place
I was walking on my own with no walker after six months. I grew a few inches, and I feel so much better, this was an awesome experience.
I feel secure when I'm with Dr. Smith and I've never had to wait long.
My balance, my legs... everything felt new. It was like walking in a new body. And I had room to breathe.
Dr. Angevine had apparently done his homework before he saw me. He had already looked at the spine x-ray in his office, so when he saw me in the examining room, he gave me his undivided attention.
I feel I have made the best decision to enable me to enjoy my senior years. What a great outcome!
