My appointment was with Dr, Maslak but I did not see the doctor at all. However, Cassidy, the PA, did an excellent job of explaining my treatment plan and options. I just wish they would let you know you would not be seeing the doctor. That’s happened to me often in this practice. But, their PA’s are excellent.

Awesome. Dr. Maslak was very informative on explaining my MRI results and described where the problem is located. He was very caring and professional and did not rush our appointment. Dr. Maslak answered all my questions and took his time with my wife on the questions she had about my procedure. I feel very confident in Dr. Maslak.
