“Doctor Paulson is the most caring, compassionate, and thorough practitioner there is!”
“I have cerebral palsy and three years ago I started to see Dr. Paulson to help me with my foot pain. When I saw him the first time, he was amazing. He spent an hour with me the first day going through everything to figure out why I was having pain. He sent me to see a nutritionist, urologist, and told me I needed to start exercising. The nutritionist taught me about food and I started biking and going to the gym. I knew I needed to lose weight, but Dr. Paulson was very encouraging. I get nervous seeing doctors and I felt like he really got to know me and understands cerebral palsy. I feel a lot less pain, I am so happy that I found him.” – Brianne Alley
