Patient Reviews

Jul 22, 2023

Dr. Munson spent 30 minutes with me and provided a thorough review of my various test results. I appreciated him spending so much time explaining what was going on with my neck and spine so I could fully understand my diagnosis. He was honest about potential treatment, what symptoms it may/may not solve, and gave me multiple options to consider to move forward. He also did his own physical evaluation to see for himself any strength or balance issues I may be experiencing. He answered all my questions, and was very kind and personable. I would recommend him to anyone!

About Me

Care Philosophy

  • As a physician my goal first and foremost is to listen to the patient. My appointment times reflect this philosophy and patients appreciate this as I believe it adds to their overall patient experience. If a surgery is recommended I treat the patient and their symptoms in conjunction with medical imaging rather than planning the surgery from medical imaging alone. It is important to me to stay up to date on cutting edge technology and treatment. I attend continuing education courses several times a year to offer my patients the most up to date treatment options.
