What else would you like to say about your experience?
Dr Messmer and his staff were very professional and worked well together. They all did everything possible to make me comfortable. Dr Messmer explained the injection to me and what to expect while he was administering it to me and also what to expect if it worked like it was supposed to and also what to expect if it didn’t take care of my problem.

My appointment was scheduled for 10am. I was told to arrive at 9:45 which I did. I was taken back to my room at 10am. However, I was not see by the doctor until 11:40. That was way too long to wait.

They say first impressions are lasting. Dr. Messmer exceeded all my expectations. We had a good discussion on my issue and he was very easy to understand what the options were. He never seemed rushed during my visit and answered all of my questions. He was not pushy on treatment, but very informative during my visit. On a scale of one to 10 I would give him an 11. Keep up the good work, Dr. Mesmer.
