"I was referred for persistent elbow swelling and charged $750 for a brief consultation where no meaningful evaluation or treatment plan was offered... I felt frustrated, dismissed, and financially taken advantage of."
— LocalityBiz Review"Dr. Jackson suggested a steroid injection and physical therapy. Dr. Jackson performed the injection and I was out of the office in less than one hour! Truly impressive for healthcare in 2025."
