Dr. Cartagena is an excellent communicator. He reviewed the findings from my MRI with me, and then discussed all of the possible options we could consider to address my back problems. He took the time to really listen to my thoughts, questions, and any concerns about the options. We arrived at a good first step to start the healing process. Thank you so much Dr. Cartagena for your help. I look forward to working with you as the need arises.
