The Rocky Walton team is so caring. They had sent a bouquet of flowers that were waiting for me after my surgery, & I received cards throughout the years this process has taken. They were able to answer any & all questions, they kept me up to date on every single thing that was being done, and I am so grateful to have this team represent me during this emotional process. I went to Rocky Walton almost immediately after my wreck/injuries & that was the best decision I made. They are very upfront with their professional judgement of the trajectory of your case. They also allow you the time you need to recover & put your medical needs first.
