Amazing

Excellent communications skills. Took no offense that I was a trauma doctor with the ability to read an MRI with previous spine surgery skills.
His technique was excellent. I suspect that I will need neurosurgical intervention based on my result & MRI.
The epidural was to check the box that conservative was attempted!

He is always a pleasure and positive person to deal with.

Dr. Golovlev greeted me very cordially and asked all the pertinent questions about my concerns. Dr. Golovlev explained in detail of what my procedure would be given and exactly what effects to expect from this visit.
After this last few days everything that Dr. Golovlev explained what to expect, and that's EXACTLY what is doing.
I'm VERY thankful that Dr. Golovlev is helping my childhood disease difficulties and I can now go and do more of the things that I love and need to do.
Thank you Dr. Golovlev and staff!
