First time visit. Dr. Ray spend good time understanding past issues and discerning current problem in a progressive manner. He was able to ease the back pain before the session ended. Staff was helpful, courteous, and supportive.

I normally don't give out 5 stars especially at a doctor's office. but the location was easy to find plenty of parking, staff was friendly, very clean office as soon as I got my paperwork done they started my physical. Dr Arensdorf made me feel very comfortable as i am not a fan of going to the doctor office. He has a good sense of humor also!

What a great experience. I would highly recommend this doctor. After three years of being treated for hip pain, he nailed the problem. Tonight I was able to get in bed without excruciating pain. I was being treated by a doctor for a problem that I didn't have. It was an adjustment I needed and he knew that adjustment. Thank you very very much Dr Arensdorf, Super friendly staff, and very affordable charges for Seniors.
