Dr Briggs office was a revelation & an oh so positive experience for me. I was called almost immediately upon arrival & whisked by a friendly medical assistant into an X-ray room where my reason for appointment left ankle was x-rayed every which way. About halfway through the procedure commented bone on bone. Usually that is left for the specialist to detail. I found that totally refreshing. Once settled in my examining room it was only a matter of minutes before Dr Briggs bounced in looking even more youthful than the youngest of my children x-rays in mind was positively enthusiastic even amazed how my body has a pain tolerance to handle what he has always seen as a totally debilitating condition. Obviously that was received by me as a totally encouraging sign besides being made to feel good by everybody's upbeat personality
