    The visit was quick, on time, and re-assuring. The treatment plan was clear, clinically appropriate, financially evaluated, and had a back-up plan. Dr. Monson was great at explaining the possible medical issues and how to manage them.

    I have seen and trusted in his care previous to this visit. He offered to inject my shoulder during the visit but I chickened out.

    Dr monson is a fantastic doctor. I had a new mri two days before my injection for my lower lumbar. Dr monson took the time to go over the new mri and immediately located the problem and how he would address it. The procedure went smoothly and I was in great hands. Dr monson is very kind and caring and his whole staff was great. Thank you Dr monson. I highly recommend Dr Monson and his team.
