“Dr. Dolphin is the only doctor who has listened to me! I have been dealing with back pain for 17 years. I have seen general practitioners, chiropractors, massage therapists, an ORA specialist, and a pain management specialist who gave me injections and radiofrequency ablation, but none have worked. I hope Dr. Dolphin can help me as I cannot go on with this kind of pain. I have heard he is the best!”

He lays out your options and allows you to have a voice in your treatment plans. I have no doubts about him treating me for my medical conditions. The staff is also always very friendly and kind. They even take notice when I change my hair color. Orthopedic specialists are a very personable group of people. Thanks for being the wonderful people that you are! I finally have some hope again.”
