Dr. Pleasant is very caring and kind. He wants to sit down with you and listen to what you have to say and carry on a conversation with you and really try to figure out what he could do to help you. He has given me several injections with great results and he will talk you through them and calm you down when you are nervous and he is very skilled in what he does. Dr. Pleasant is a top-notch doctor. I would never want to go anywhere else.

I received a steroid shot in each of my upper hips. Dr Pleasant talked me through the process; it was not painless but did not take long. He and the nurse were very attentive and caring.
