Patient Testimonials

“Dr. Witte and Darcy were both terrific. I liked that Witte treated me like a person with a brain who wants to understand the situation rather than just processing another patient. He had an array of helpful suggestions and went over the MRI’s carefully with me. He has an intelligent and kind way of engaging and I really appreciated it.” August 2019

“Had an amazing experience with Darci & Dr. Witte. Will highly recommend them.” August 2019
