Dr. Cheeley and I discussed my care together. I told him my concerns and he listened, and shared his concerns. Together, we discussed talking with pain management about a plan for my excessive itch due to the implant of the nerve stimulator, that caused theItching. I was not tested before the implant was placed In my back. Afterward, I found out that I was allergic to nickel.

Great
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/7/2026
Very good. Professional and detailed, addressed all my concerns. I have no issue with Physican, he did very good job. But the exam did require him to examine sensitive areas. I think the clinic should protect their clinicians better by having a nurse or tech chaperone those types of exams. This would be an investment in the safety of the Physican or provider, given how people can say anything nowadays with cancel culture. Set them up for success.

My visit was the first time Dr. Cheeley and he was very professional yet comforting in his care. I was a bit surprised at the method / style he used for injection / needle pricks in numbing the area on my back. He would tap the area to distract me from the puncture which truly made it comfortable and less stressing for me. He showed respect and care during the procedure. I was quite impressed.

Since I was not feeling well, I didn't have time to completely discuss my concern. Dr.Cheeley has promptly answered my patient portal follow-up questions.In these unsettled times, the clinic should support the staff by giving them more time, and support the patients by giving more assistance.

Can't answer third question because there wasn't a proposed treatment. Need NA option. Nonetheless... Let me point out how very highly I think of Dr. Cheeley. He's clearly a very smart and knowledgeable doctor. He is a good listener, has a calm demeanor, does not talk over or down to me, nor make me feel rushed.

I was initially seen by a resident and then the Doctor. Both were excellent.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/13/2024
Dr. Cheeley needed to screen my genitals and anus for an autoimmune disease. He very respectfully asked for both areasi if it would be ok to look at them. However, he touched my labia/inner labia without warning. I think a standard warning/question of "can I touch you here" or "I'm going to touch you here" is very appropriate. I don't think it was intentional, but it's something Dr. Cheeley should be aware of, especially with female patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/13/2024
Dr. Justin explain to me about my concerns. Listen very well to me. He is Very compassionate.

Doctor has shown effort in trying to reach root cause of medical symptoms, disease
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/22/2024
The only reason I would not recommend Dr. Cheeley to others is because it is extremely hard to schedule an appointment to see him. He is booked far out at all times. Otherwise, I respect his advice in dealing with my skin conditions.
