Very helpful and assuring! Gentle touch during this procedure.

I am very pleased with my visit with Dr. St. John. I feel he explained everything I needed to know. Should I require more medical expertise I would be fortunate to see him again.

Got what I needed done completed quickly, discussed what happens if I needed a third round of cortisone, and whether surgery might be needed (which I already pretty much knew the answer).

Dr. St. John is a caring professional. He involved me in my surgery recovery, encouraging a dialogue and a trust.

Sep 13, 2024

Dr. St. John, unlike many specialists, talks TO me, not AT me. He listens, he acknowledges my concerns, and responds to them, rather than humoring me.
