I appreciate the treatment from Poulter-Simon. I haven't had such a thorough and detailed consultation before. Dr Suzette educated me on my injury and how to fix it without doing more damage. Thank you for the excellent and compassionate treatment.

Without doubt the most spot-on and professionally implemented treatment plan that I have had. My specific condition was targeted exactly with excellent therapy application to the affected area. Also, the rehabilitative exercise program provided was 100% effective. Excellent work - thank you!
