Our experience at the Spine and Health Center of Park Ridge has been incredible, and I truly cannot say enough about Dr. James. Several years ago, my daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis. We were told it was not severe and that nothing needed to be done. A few years later her curve worsened, she was experiencing a lot of discomfort. The doctor recommended surgery. We wanted to do everything possible to avoid that, so after a lot of research we learned about the Schroth Method and were so grateful to find Dr. James. Even though the office is about a 40-minute drive for us and we were nervous about committing to frequent visits, from the moment we walked in we felt completely at ease. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming, and Dr. James is truly exceptional. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, reassuring, and has a great sense of humor that made both my daughter and I feel comfortable right away. We have been coming once or twice a week and the improvement has been amazing. My daughter has significantly less discomfort and pain, and seeing her feel better has been such a relief. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this practice and highly recommend Dr. James and the Spine and Health Center of Park Ridge to anyone dealing with scoliosis.
