"I had a lower back injury. The injury was very bad and created several medical problems for myself. Dr. Martin spent time giving me an education about my medical problems with my back. Dr. Martin is a medical professional. He cares about his patient, his customer service is outstanding and very good. I will give him a rating of 5/5, 10/10, and 100/100 percent. I believe I can evaluate Dr. Martin one of the best in the medical business after L4, L5 spine and a fusion. Dr. Martin YOU ROCK!" - Mr. Jacobs

"Thank you Dr. Gray and your staff for taking care of my hip. I was terrified at the thought of surgery so when Dr. Gray told me that’s what was needed to get me out of pain, my first question to him was, 'How soon could I get back on my horse?' He told me he would have me back riding in six weeks so I said, 'Let’s do this.' It’s been six weeks and I am riding again! I am so happy with the Swiftpath program. It totally made my recovery a breeze! The questions I had during my time of recovery where answered quickly and with genuine care. Thank you Dr. Gray and all of your fabulous team!"
