It was great everyone was professional and polite and very friendly. I had a great visit with being nervous.
good service very knowledgeable. Highly would recommend
I appreciate the support that was given to me as a mother.
Dr. Ott was very patient with me. I didn't feel rushed at all; she took her time, which I especially appreciated during a period when I'm anxious about not fully returning to normal. I worry about possible permanent injuries or lasting damage to my brain.
I am so grateful to everyone [...] with Dr. Ott's office for helping me get my son quickly seen and evaluated. I cannot thank Dr. Ott enough for how she established a plan for my son that is allowing him to be a part of the decisions and peace that he may need to make for himself regarding his future participation in contact sports. Her approach has also aided in helping my son be more communicative about his symptoms and concerns he had with symptoms he is experiencing but isn't sure if they are concussion related. His experience with the concussion he had in 2023 created a fear of sorts in reporting what occurred this football season. I cannot that everyone enough. I am a bit overwhelmed by the care and support we have received as the situation with last season's concussion was defeating for me as well. Thank you all so very much. It is an incredible feeling to have a medical team helping me ensure my son is ok and will be ok. I am grateful.
My experience was very great. Everybody was very professional and I feel like my care was being taken care of. Thank you.
Nurse [...] and Doctor Ott are among the most responsive, thoughtful and knowledgeable medical professionals I have encountered. I am grateful to be in their care.
Fantastic doctor for assessing my concussion. Will be recommending Dr. Ott to any others experiencing the same!
Not much help and a tad unprofessional . Struggling with issues and was hoping for a little more compassion/advice. Did not seem an expert with advice given
Dr Ott it's very attentive and shine. Understands to talk to. Her assistant [...] is one of the nicest I've met, and one of the most helpful like with giving directions on the phone prior to the appointment, parking etc
