He is amazing. He listened to my concerns and validated them. I didn’t feel crazy. Trying to explain my pain or swelling. He took time out of his busy day to squeeze me in because I was panicking and I completely trust his judgment. I’ve had 2 injections by him and both were flawlessly done. I was calm and honestly didn’t feel much. Definitely deserves to be recognized for the way he treats his patients.
