Patient Reviews
Feb 12, 2025
Having had 2 operations already without relief, I was worried about seeing yet another doctor. I was so happy--careful attention to detail looking over my old and new scans, and figured out why the others didnt work and came up with a plan to fix. That was 4 months ago, and so far, I'm so much better!
