Dr Derrington’s focus is truly about helping the patient. He listened to my medical history, all the avenues I’ve tried (many), and never made me feel rushed or unimportant. Everything and everyone was very professional and I will definitely continue to recommend him to friends and clients as well as continuing to use him myself.

Dr. Derrington was terrific. He really listened to me explain the details of my symptoms and history. I felt like he understood what my problems are and sought to address them with a thorough exam and explanation of how my spine and related muscles and ligaments all work together.

Very good initial exam and diagnosis. The PRP injections were painful. I've had health problems since, maybe coincidentally, but still not diagnosed.

Dr. Derrington listened well, understood & diagnosed with the right modalities- with a diagnostic ultra sound. Then, to confirm his findings, he recommended an MRI. Dr. Derrington then did the PRP procedure with the diagnostic ultrasound to guide him. Truly knowledgeable professional in sports medicine therapies! (Gentle & kind too). Wrist healed strong & well with a lot of physical therapy to help it along. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR DERRINGTON

Dr. Derrington did more to put an end to my several years of suffering than the more than ten Kaiser neurologist, orthopedics and neurosurgeons had done for me. He listened. He used the MRI’s and X-rays that I provided to target the problem areas and put me on the road to a normal pain free life.
