I was 10 minutes late but I was seen as soon as I got there. First for ex-rays then consult with Dr. O'Donnel. Both were enjoyable, not bad for going to the doctor

Dr Burch and everyone here is to be commended on their professional behavior. Everyone I encountered was well informed and helpful. The people in X-ray were pleasant and efficient. Made me feel very comfortable. Dr Burch answered all my questions, made sure I understood his instructions and encouraged me to contact him with any further questions or concerns. Overall I highly recommend Universally Orthopedic.
