Christian A.
Fantastic team, super friendly, and Dr. Dickinson has been amazing. I came in with a pretty bad Achilles tendinitis (thought it was fractured) and they have taken great care of me. I am very active and it was important that I had a great recovery. Highly recommend it.

I originally came to this business for a second opinion, but they've moved up as my primary due to the quality of care I've received from Dr. Dickinson and the ease of doing business with Urgently Ortho. Dr. Dickinson is great at both listening and explaining situations and options.
