I couldn’t ask for a better dr he (and his staff) are so understanding, compassionate and conscientious!
Excellent manner.
Everyone is so nice. They treat you like a loving family from the time you get here until you leave.
Excellent caring doctor
I was awake all night after epidural. Ok the next day, but really would like more info about this constant back and hip pain besides epidural. I have only heard about fusions by word of mouth and they weren't good. Should I consult a neurosurgeon? But IDK who.
Very personable and listens . Cares about patient pain and need for help. Highly recommend him.
Outstanding physician. Knowledgeable, professional yet full of empathy.
I love the shots I received in my back They make me be able to feel decent again
I couldn’t ask for a better doctor. He is compassionate and understanding. I feel very good when I’m able to leave his office.
Very Professional
