Great pain relief. A great doctor. Excellent!!!!
Everyone was great
He is a great doctor and took time and explained everything he was doing. I was getting myself ready and it was over. The music was jaming. Thank him and the staff they all was great.
Leg is still numb after injection. Afraid to walk along. Was in surgery center waiting room for 30 to 40 minutes waiting to get a better feeling to drive. No feeling in upper thigh. I finally was able to drive, but at home with numbness in leg.
Dr. RAJ was concerned about my health. He did a thorough exam of my back mobility. He looked for herniated disc. And he listened to as I shared.
Very professional
Friendly and efficient
Dr Valvani and the entire Pinnacle team were a joy to work with.
