    Doctors and nurses are very knowledgeable, and listen and care for the patient. For me, they are essential for me to continue functioning with my [...]. And they are also someone I can ask for advice and analysis of changes in my pain levels or other changes I experience. They are all very kind, as is the staff at the front desk. It is a welcoming place for those of us who live with chronic pain as well a source of information.
