"I have been seeing Dr. Putnam for a year and it has changed my quality of life! I had terrible sternum, neck and back pain for years. I thought I was going to be in pain for life. Going to Dr. Putnam was my last effort to figure out how to manage my pain and I am so glad I found her! Within a couple months of seeing her I noticed a difference and now I live nearly pain free. She is caring, funny and really cares about her patients. I highly recommend The Bend!"
