    Dr. McCracken was pretty dismissive after I explained my concerns to her and brushed them off and told me she sees this daily. She made me feel like my symptoms and concerns were not important.

    She was very knowledgeable about spine issues and how this interacts with hips. I learned a great deal during my visit. She helped me understand the origin of pain. I left the appointment with a plan and greatly relieved that I will receive the best care.

    I have had the pleased of receiving care for my back via Ms. McKracken for several years and couldn't be more pleased with her care for my condition. I have also referred several other friends and relatives to her who have had the same excellent care.

    The last time I had seen this provider was over a year ago and I assuredly knew that if I ever had a back issue again I would see Kelsey McCracken because of her excellent care. This past week I saw her for another type of back issue which had sidelined from many activities due to pain. She is a most compassionate and clear communicator. Her questions, exam, explanations, comparison of X-rays And looking forward plan getting back into exercise etc. Helped me to truly understand the approach I can take, I am most grateful to be in her care.
