    The care group was professional. They just didn't have enough information about my worker's compensation injuries and that I cannot say. So that was a little concerning to me. But otherwise, it was good.

    I absolutely can't say enough great things about Dr. Pappy. I have a very complicated situation with my back and with my pain, and he has just been the most amazing doctor I've absolutely ever seen. The time he takes, the caring, the understanding, and the compassion he has is just beyond anything I've ever experienced from any other doctor I've ever seen. He has made sure that I've always been taken care of, been seen by who I need to see in an emergency situation, as well as just listening and being compassionate about the prognosis and directing me forward. Again, he is the most impressive doctor I have ever seen.
