Excellent experience. Kelsey is very professional, took the time to listen to what I had reached out to her for and suggested options for treatment. I have scheduled an upcoming office visit with Kelsey as she suggested.

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.

CNP Kelsey has helped me successfully address other spine related issues over the years. She is very patient oriented and very knowledgeable about issues of the spine.

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.

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.
