    My provider was phenomenal, Ive never received such care from someone that worried about my well being instead of suggesting surgery right away. Have already recommended him to friends and family.

    Dr. James is personable, and competent. He shares his knowledge in a informative way. He is not rushed and is genuinely concerned about how to best help you to get well. He is an excellent Doctor. I am glad to have found him. Also, he is conservative and does not try to sell you on unnecessary procedures.
