    Dr. Joy English and Mike were so helpful throughout my situation. Dr. Joy explained in detail what she suspects and the steps we need to take. Well she was spot on with her diagnosis and the MRI supported her suspicions. She completed an injection procedure and talked me through it with minimal discomfort. I feel like I have a team at the U that genuinely cares. Doing well now.

    Dr. English is great! She's warm and personable and took the time to explain my procedure completely before she even started. She also made sure I was comfortable from the start. And her assistant was great too! They made a great team. I almost wish I had a reason to have to go back to her again! She's great at making you feel at ease, understood and truly cared about!

    Dr. English and Mike are great. I arrive, get checked in, quickly taken back to an exam room. They are soon entering the room and I don't feel rushed. Dr. English takes her time with me and really listens. She's been terrific and involves me in the next step decisions. Highly recommend her. Great team.
