    I feel this way because from my first visit I asked Dr. Closson to listen to me and not go deaf once I mentioned the name of my condition. Some doctors be like as soon as they hear it go straight for the negative. Reason why I feel that way is because Dr. Closson listened to me and FINALLY someone gets it and KNOWS that I am telling the truth that there was something else going on with me and started treating me for it. This is an ectremel

    The staff and Dr Closson went over and beyond to assist my son as he was in severe pain and had been for over a month. They didn’t give up until he got approval for the injection asap. I appreciate them beyond words.

    staff was very kind and welcome me to their practice. Dr. Closson was amazing. He took the time to explain what was going on with me and his plan for treatment.
