    I have been seeing Dr. Settle for many years now and I have always been treated very well. He is a very smart and competent Physician and is genuinely concerned about my condition. He is very thoughtful about what he has to say when he says something. Never Ever rude or condescending in any way. He makes it a point to ask me how my pain is and if I am having any additional issues with my back that concerns me.He is very articulate about answering my questions l may have. Dr Settle is very kind and caring about me as a patient and I appreciate it. And is quick to address any problems lm having with my pain and mobility issues.

    Dr. Settle and his team are kind and patient with me. I always leave his office feeling seen and heard by him. Which, unfortunately, is not always the experience one with "invisible illnesses" might have. I appreciate the care I receive from him more than I can express.

    If I recommend Dr settle. He would have more patients and I wouldn't be able to get in and see him when I need to. I'm being selfish and keeping him to myself.
