Appointment wait time was quick. Dr. Scanlon was professional, clear, a great listener, and communicator. He connected me with a colleague who is a specialist in the area that I needed.
Dr.Chris Scanlon is a great Doctor, was focused in helping me , getting through my knee pain . I saw him with recent X rays report of my knee conditions. Dr Scanlon explained the report for me , gave me Steroid injection in my painful R. knee . He said you have no more pain in 48 to 72 H.. I was surprised, I have no pain after several hour . I had a good night sleep for the first time in a long time. Being a medical professional myself " retired MD" ... I can see that Dr Scanlon is a great human , very dedicated to help his patients and relieve their pain . I feel I was so lucky to be one of his patients. There are many Doctors that are serving people with the intent of providing the utmost care for any suffering human. I believe that Dr Scanlon would qualify to be on the top of this list. The office staff were great . My appointment was at 9 .15 am I was out and done in about an hour . Great place , friendly staff, and a wonderful Doctor. God bless this place .

Verified patient
Dr Scanlon was very kind, polite, and he listened. He answered my questions and gave me the time I needed to process his responses. The office is in a big medical complex and going in it seemed like it would be a little cold and impersonal, but the office staff and the doctor were all patient, warm, and human.
