"Dr. Tima Le has treated me over the years for various conditions associated with my neck, back and spine. Dr. Le is extremely thorough and takes the time to listen to her patients. Her diagnostic skills and her rapport with patients separates her from doctors I have seen in the past. I have recommend Dr. Le to family and friends needing her care and have no reservation referring her to anyone. Thanks Dr. Le for all you do for your patients and thanks for keeping me healthy."

I am a continuing patient. Dr. Le and her assistant Naomi Alcock and other medical staff have been outstanding. Dr. Le is personable and professional and Ms. Alcock has taken ample time and patience to explain everything that has been done so far and in explaining what might be anticipated. I will be returning in the fall and I actually look forward to my appointment!

"I want to take this time to send you a huge Thank You for a very positive epidural injection experience. I knew after coming to see you, that you were the one I would want to do this procedure, but, as you know, I was very fearful and anxious. However, to my delight it was painless. I know I have a long way to go and may need another injection, but thanks to you, I'Il go into it calmer and assured that I'm getting the best possible care. I also want to thank your staff, who were so professional, understanding and caring. They also helped put me at ease. And a definite "thumbs up" to the big guy who handled me like a sack of potatoes, only gently."
