Dr. Closson and staff are wonderful!! This was my second visit to the office and I can say that both were pleasurable experiences. Dr. Closson has superb bedside manner and explained my back issues from start to finish. He further explained in detail every step of the way during my procedure. I was very nervous upon arrival but once in the OR, his calm, friendly demeanor comforted and calmed me, along with his assistant. I will recommend all to National Spine & Pain Center!
