“I’m a previous Crystal Clinic patient when I worked in Akron. While they are outstanding I now work from home and wanted to explore options closer to me in North Canton. I’ve been to Spectrum twice, once for my elbow and once for my knees. Different Doctors but same experience. They were prompt, professional and knowledgeable. I was impressed with how quickly they got me in to see a doctor. Both Doctors gave me options for my issues and I am very satisfied with the immediate improvement that it made.”
