Went for a “whip-lash” post accident.
He dismissed my concerns based on MRI & never even did an exam….., no exam.
Suggested if I have pain he would refer me to a pain clinic.
Truly a waste of my time. No time wasted for him however….., he got paid!

I really liked Dr. Iannotti and his staff. He is very personable and took time to explain my MRI to me ,and what procedures might be necessary.

Unfortunately when arriving to desperately receive needed advice and ask questions regarding nerve pain a few months after a small procedure, the Dr had a preconceived idea of my purpose for the office visit when in fact, it kept him from listening and responding to the truth of me being there. He did yorder an MRI to see what my spine looked like and also to try and get me some physical therapy in the home.
