Always pleasant with me. I am amazed at how much about me, Dr. Sladicka remembers! Great guy, and trust him with my problems.

Dr. Robinson was cordial and interested in my recent MRI. Sharing the discovery was better news than a doctor had previously told me in Hickory. Dr. Robinson also examined sore places on my spine. His analysis made logical sense. Therefore, I will continue to choose Dr. Robinson for future care.
