Everyone – the nurses are super friendly, they make you feel comfortable and have a sense of humor. Dr. Ekstrom has always been friendly. He always explains what is being done, he is a doctor I trust.

I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Erik Ekstrom’s treatment and skills.

Comment from patient satisfaction survey::

Dr. Ekstrom gave me a trigger point injection that took away the pain in my neck – a spot that hasn’t been pain-free in at least eight years.

Comment from patient satisfaction survey:

Dr. Ekstrom and his assistants are always one-on-one with you.  They treat you as a person rather than a number and they all genuinely care about you as an individual.
