James is one of the better doctors I have ever met. Ask questions and if you need to get a hold of him on my chart, he is always quick to answer. Seems concerned with your health.

his compassion and his listening, and the ease of talking to him was just fabulous. I was a nervous wreck going in. He just made me calm.

Personable, professional, on time, thorough and allowed for follow-up questions. Felt like they care about me as a person and wanted to partner with me to be my better self. I am very grateful for that!

I am a new patient with Mr. Houdek and I went to see him for my lower back issues I’ve had for years. I feel like he is the first doctor to actually listen to me and take my problems serious. Mr Houdek got me the scans I needed and provided the steps that I needed to complete. I just completed my appointment today with the spine specialist after my visit with Mr. Houdek and i finally feel like I am moving in the correct direction thanks to Mr Houdek.

He is the BEST

I really felt like I had a voice and say with my previous caregiver at this location. Now it’s all just more medication and sometimes in obnoxious increases. No real discussion; goals, or anything with diet and exercise, I’m a person not a data point,

Real nice guy, down to earth. Straight up no chasers. I like the motivation I got from him to care about my health. Way better than general care at the VA

He was very knowledgeable in answering my questions but I felt rushed, not because of him but because of an emergency that had occurred prior to my visit that caused a later 'start time' for my appointment.

Best NP in the entire game. I couldn’t recommend him enough. And my sister is now seeing him as well. I tell everyone I know to see him. He’s the first NP that’s listened to me and not just brushed me off.
