He was attentive and allowed me to describe in detail my concerns, and then he meticulously described what he will do to correct my spine issues. I was at the end of my rope and he has given me new hope.

He and his staff are very thorough. We couldn't get the telemed technology to work, so I could only speak to him on the phone. We are reconnecting in person in early November.
