Dr. Jim Cranford is a miracle worker. When I first started seeing him, I could hardly get out of…read morethe bed in the mornings and then it took a couple of hours for the pain to subside. I have asthma and severe allergies and was on 3 inhalers at the time of my first visit. After 3 months of visits I stopped needing any inhalers, and that's been well over 5 years ago. I have no back pain anymore and spring out of bed every morning. He even cured my plantar fasciitis.(heel spurs) He scanned my feet and made custom inserts for my shoes. No more early morning foot pain...matter of fact no pain at all. No surgery needed. If you are in any kind of pain do yourself a favor and call Dr. Cranford. He will get you on the path to a total pain free existence.

The nurses and doctor were very friendly and professional. The front desk clerk seemd a little busy and overwhelmed at all that was going on. She just kind of rushed us on out of the way. They are super busy first thing in the morning. They offered coffee and drinks for me at the nurses station while I waited and sat with my spouse. Overall it was a good experience and we would use them again.
