I am consistently impressed by the treatment I have received from Dr. Paulk and his staff at both the Kenner and St Anne locations. He explains your options in an understandable way without speaking down to you. He shows genuine concern and makes sure that follow up is done after treatment either from him or physical therapy or an at home program. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
