Dr. Mailey, took the time to explain to me what he did. Compared to a Neurologist. It became very clear to me what the procedures did. I understand my pain and know how to handle it.

Dr Mailey helped me with another medical problem that didnt really have anything to do with why i was initially there and he took the time to hear my concerns, schedule tests, and ultimately treated by way of neck injections, and anterior scalene injection which helped IMMENSELY. Id say he went above & beyond.
