My experience has been very good, Rebecca is very knowledgeable, and takes the time to examine, explain and discusses what is wrong and all the options available for treatment. I have had shoulder injections which have provided much relief and gave me back the movement needed. Very appreciative!

My PA Rebecca van we was amazing however just coming from a family of six doctors and three being surgeons on one being in the military and me Myself out of us five siblings even went to med school for a year and a half once upon a time you need more full-fledged doctors trained you guys are onto something you’ve got a lot of on-site stuff places like Well Now or other set ups by Ellis Hospital, pale and comparison to what you got going on that was my first time thereso my only recommendation from a business consulting standpoint I believe by hiring more advanced doctors you’re going to push through more patience daily quicker instead of a PA seeing 6 to 8 patients. The more advanced doctor may see 12 to 15. I’m just giving you statistical information.

REBECCA VANWIE WAS AWESOME!! This was my first appointment and kind of confusing of where I needed to be and what floor. When I finally was seen the nurse was great and Rebecca was very personable and very kind to explain everything and give suggestions not tell me what to do. This is very rare in a doctor’s office. I am so happy she was my first encounter! Thank you!

After telling her about the pain I was feeling in my right shoulder she told me what she saw after running arm movement tests, gave me the option of an injection first and then after six weeks no improvement get a MRI . I took the injection. She took the time to explain the workings of the rotator cuff and that i might have some tears that’s why my upper muscle hurt.
