Avi’s very thorough and patient approached worked perfectly for me. Very thorough set of questions about my background, possibly contributing to my pain. Very thorough physical exam of the relevant areas of my pain. Discussion of the recent tests of the area. We came up with a plan of action that I am confident will successfully address my pain.
