I came to Dr. Below for a cortisone injection in my knee but was having much pain in my left hip - the nurse said *r. Below doesn't do hips but they would refer me - I was very worried about trying to get a whole different dr. & appt., etc. When Dr. Below came in, he said he would x-ray my hip & take a look to make sure I didn't have a fracture. I was SO VERY HAPPY to get it x-rays & he ordered some PT for me, so was EXTREMELY GRATEFUL not to have to get a referral & all that stuff! Thank you Dr. Below!
