Dr. Glasgow is cognizant of causes that are leading to my pain and spoke in words that made sense to me. She showed concern for the reason for my initial visit, and has even made a referral for a doctor in the same building for a new procedure that might help rid me of my constant knee pain that I was totally unaware of. She didn't have to address my knees, but as a professional, she seemed that my whole body, not just my shoulder, was her responsibility to address while I was there. It's like "one-stop-shopping." I'm very happy.
