I called the office for an appointment. They were able to see me within 2 1/2 hours, even though it wasn’t an emergency per se. I’ve seen Dr. Caffrey before and I’m well pleased with his professionalism and his manners. He always lays out options for me and lets me choose the course of treatment that I’m most comfortable with. He always thoroughly explains what’s going on. I highly recommend this practice and I highly recommend Dr. Caffrey.

Dr. Caffrey was very professional and thorough. He listened carefully to my concerns and he immediately ordered x-rays to evaluate my symptoms. He discussed the findings with me, developed a plan of care with my input, prescribed medication to begin this same day, and set up PT and a return visit. The visit was quick, but not rushed. Will definitely continue to see Dr. Caffrey!

Called the office this morning after injuring my knee in exercise class yesterday and got an appointment at 10:30. Dr Caffrey did an initial exam and then had x-rays done to confirm his assessment. Set a plan with next steps if first plan doesn’t work. So thankful.
