I saw Dr. Gypson and he was great! We went through everything, he wrote orders for PT, will do follow-up in August, as well as set me up for consult with Orthotics for brace.

As a fellow health care professional I am Quite discerning about the NP’s and MD’s who treat me. Dr Gypson is simply Superb. He is thorough, and kind. Best of all he relieved back pain I have had for 3 years.

I'm not 100% comfortable with the plan, but he's the doctor and I am not. He has proven trustworthy so far so I am willing too try what he suggested--more PT but a different kind. I have PT burnout so more PT feels like a big request. And most importantly he understands that and explained his rationale exceptionally well
