The entire staff at Auto-Ness is amazing. Dr. Perry, Dr. Grayson and Dr. Oliphant are outstanding in their field. Sabra, their office manager, with her enthusiasm and kind smile will make you feel right at home.
As a personal trainer it is crucial to have professionals in place not only for my clients but for myself as well. I love their philosophy of treating patients as a whole. We all have issues that arise now and again but it’s their drive to add to your overall quality of life that makes them ahead of the rest.
