Best Doctor Ever

Dr. Kangas is the best doctor that I have ever had to help me with my back. He truly cares about his patients and wants to help them regain their independence and mobility. If you work hard and try, he will work two times harder to help you. Make an appointment with Dr. Kangas, you will be glad that you did it!

Excellent Physician!

Today was my first visit with Dr. Kangas. He was an engaged listener and explained my diagnosis in a way that I could understand. This is the first time in years of searching for answers that a physician had a "game plan" developed by the end of our session and Dr. Kangas addressed all my concerns in a holistic approach! He is an excellent physician!!

Excellent pain medicine practice!

I began my experience here with an appointment with Dr. Matt Kangas. He is a “straight shooter.” He answered all of my questions about prior treatment and medication, and based on my responses, formulated a plan for the future.
Furthermore, he did not hurry me out of the office as some medical providers tend to do.
My subsequent experience with my nurse practitioner there has also been more than satisfactory. She too responds to all of my inquiries in a timely and professional manner.

Pain management needs met

Dr. Kangas is comparable to Dr. Schnapp as far as knowledge of attacking pain. He’s comfortable with taking the time to explain his thoughts for my pain situation and makes sure that I understand what his intentions are and that I’m comfortable with them. He’s very personable which gives me a safe feeling when he’s treating me.
