Dr. Jaiva Larsen, MD

Today I had tommake a trip to the UMC (Kino) emergency room for excruciating back pain. I was examined and diagnosed by dr Larson whose thorough examination and diagnosis lead to my ability to leave the hospital and recuperate home. She explained my diagnosis thoroughly and also explained a course of treatment and follow up that gave me some relief both of my pain and concern that I had done something serious to my back. So bad was my pain that it was necessary for me to lie in the back of our SUV while my wife driove me to the facility. I was unable to walk into the hospital or sit in a wheel chair. I had to be brought in on a gurney. It is clear that dr Larson truly cared about my discomfort and I never felt as though she needed to rush onto the next case.
