I came in for a 2nd opinion and I'm glad I did. We still don't know exactly what's wrong yet but there is a plan to figure it out. I felt like I had a much more thorough exam than I did at TCO. The doctor was great!

I was so happy with the service. I had been to a different medical facility (RA) and everything I expected them to do they didn't. Not the case at Summit. I was so pleased that x rays were taken, pictures shown, explanations given and great suggestions provided.
