Patient Testimonials

"I have been seeing Dr. Emel since October 2012 for pain in my neck, back, and  right shoulder. I have had these problems for quite some time. Most of the problems occured while in the Marine Corps, and I never got diagnosed or treated properly. Since seeing Dr. Emel, he has not only diagnosed me, but is trying everything he can to improve my injuries. My job as a heavy equipment technician is very vigorous and both Dr. Peterson and Dr. Emel have put procedures in place to help me with that aspect. I feel that my doctors have gone above and beyond to try to help me and make my life better." --Benjamin W.
