  • March 9, 2024

    The treatment relieved my hip pain, and he explained the need for future surgery. Showed me my X-ray.

  • March 7, 2024

    Long wait once in the exam room but I know some patients have long winded concerns and that can happen to all of us.

  • March 7, 2024

    Really the only problem was the wait time. Next time I will bring a copy of War and Peace.

  • March 7, 2024

    Personal was very professional and great. Dr. Was awesome

  • March 6, 2024

    From the ladies at the front desk, to the nurse attending me, to Dr. Padalecki,all were very thorough, helpful and attentive. I would definitely recommend ARC to friends.

    Dr. Padalecki is an excellent resource for information on an injury. He is clear and concise and gives you the best choices for a good outcome. I trust him with my life when going under the knife.
