My pain level was off the charts today due from a recent muscle strain day before. Separate from what my scheduled appt was for .Was taken in promptly.Dr Betts took time to listen to my complaint of recent pain and treated me accordingly with great medical advice. No pain felt with the scheduled injections. By the time I got into my car shortly after my treatment, I already had substantial relief.The bi yearly injections I get, last for months on end,so can't wait to wake up tomorrow feeling even more fabulous than I do now..By the way, I followed his advice how to treat recent strained muscle at home and got wonderful relief in matter of minutes .Thank you Dr Betts for your infinite professional knowledge and great medical care and home care advice.

I have been with Dr.Betts for many many years! He has been treating me for Fibromyalgia, I wouldn't want any other Doc. He listens and genuinely cares plus he plays the guitar and has a band so I can say my doctor is cooler then yours. Ha ha I highly recommend Dr. Betts. 5 stars

I have diabetes pain and Dr BETTS has helped me for years. Not just with prescriptions but with my overall health. My grandmother was a surgical nurse and she taught us a lot about finding a good doctor. And we don't settle for second-best The staff is great the office runs professional. And if you have the opportunity to have Dr Beck at Street you you are in great hands

I had a painful slipped disc and was expecting a long term treatment. Dr. Betts did an epidural, it was amazing...pain gone, never needed another treatment. He was skilled, I was awake and could not believe how smooth and skilled he was. Thanks Dr. Betts!
