Testimonials

Very informative and professional. Took time to explain my options moving forward. I highly recommend him.

Mike G.

This doctor and team resemble a factory — in a good way! Very efficient getting an appointment, then check-in, X-rays, and seeing the PA. A few minutes later, Dr. O. came in. Nice, friendly Midwesterner. A great people person. He was thorough in the X-ray review and treatment options. They often say if you go to a surgeon, they’ll say you need surgery. He didn’t. He offered up several options to relieve my back pain. If six weeks doesn’t resolve it, we’ll return for a review. Loved this place and this doctor.

Dr. Osburn was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and caring. I am a retired critical care nurse and highly recommend his expertise. All staff members were great, including Hansel P.A., Chelsea, front desk, and x-ray. Thanks for your care.

Great doctor. Takes the time to explain every step of the process regarding your health. From dealing with back pain for years, Dr. Osburn made me feel comfortable as he explained my options to get me on course to live life again.

Leon C.

Dr. Osburn is very thorough and patient. He answers all my questions even when I’m interrupting him with more questions. He listens to my concerns and explains things in a way I understand. He seems very knowledgeable, and I highly recommend him.
