Great Doctor!!
An unbelievable terrific experience. The doctor was patient, reassuring, concerned with my well being, amazing!! And even more remarkable on time and not rushing me through questions. And best of all, a great DO!
Very nice and I already feel better.
Dr Valvani was so incredible patient and kind while giving me a needed, painful epidural. I really appreciated him and his team. I sensed he wants me well and back to my normal routine!
I feel very safe and comfortable
Dr. Valvanii was very personal, professional and compassionate. I appreciated his care for my comfort and commentary during each step of the procedure. His nurses were exceptional and provided the same care and concern as he did. I am very thankful for the team whose care I was in. They all aided in making me feel calm and cared for throughout my procedure.
excellent
Much more painful than anticipated , need MUCH better pre- numbing or sedation to reduce injection pain experienced.
I’m very thankful for the service
Excellent and caring Dr
