Hands down 100% better experience than my last few experiences with TCO physicians. There I waited up to two hours, no explanation, and then the physician spent less than 3 minutes with me, was rude, and I definitely did not feel listened to. So, my experiences with Summit Physicians have been amazing!

This was the first time I seen this Doctor and he was amazing. He listened, explained, showed x rays, and you could tell her truly cared. He explained what surgery and recovery would look like and made sure I had enough support and help at home. He read my chart and knew I had a special needs child at home and wanted to make sure we had what we needed so I could recover well and she would be taken care of. A truly wonderful doctor that cares.
