I had severe sciatica. Been to ER a couple of times, still suffering badly, surgery now not an option. My doctor called Dr Chafty who agreed to see me the next day. He evaluated me, explained my problem and MRI results in terms I could understand. So very kind and caring. Gave me a shot, and I’m able to function again. My family was so grateful, as was I. No more ER trips!

After a terrible week, the third time in three months, I asked a friend who said see Dr Chafty. The clinic was booked full, my buddy called Dr Chafty, and he agreed to see me the next day! The next day! Hadn’t been able to get out of the house with all the pain and spasms. He saw me as a favor to another patient, evaluated me, told me the diagnosis, ordered an MRI, and saw me again three days later. No meds, just a shot and therapy, and I’m back on my feet. He was so kind, and I’m a lot better! That was what I needed

Dr Chafty and his staff were extremely caring, spoke in terms that my wife and I could understand, and spent more time with us than any doctor had in years. Wow! Although I still have some pain, he and his staff have definitely helped me to reduce it by at least 70%, and that has allowed me to enjoy life that much more! I’m very grateful

Dr Chafty was very compassionate, as was the staff. Why did I wait so long? My neck pain 80% better! I’m able to work and golf! They really cared, and my injections hardly hurt at all. Therapy at their practice also helped. Wasted my time elsewhere.
