“Dr. O'Rourke reviewed my MRI scan, which showed damage and degeneration of the cervical spine. He had me explain the symptoms that I was experiencing and the severity, before having me do some simple range of motion and strength assessment. During the appointment, Dr.O'Rourke took time to explain his findings, and what needed to be done for the improvement of my injury. Our discussion about the injury, and what the intervention would involve was easily understood, with all my questions answered. My wife and I left the appointment feeling confident in Dr.O'Rourke's assessment and plan of treatment.”
