Dr Sarah Burnett joined the Putney Chiropractic team in 2009 when we upgraded to a digital x-ray system. She reports on every study taken at Putney Chiro which enures nothing is missed and an expert second opinion is given with every study. It is through Dr Sarah and our relationship with the King Edward VII Hospital, London, that we have direct access to MRI studies where Dr Sarah reports directly on the MRIs for us.
