Patient Reviews
May 17, 2023
Dr. Boarini's reviews emphasize his direct and assertive personality—you're not meeting him for tea. His straightforwardness should not intimidate you. Your condition is of utmost importance to you, but rest assured that Dr. Boarini has treated many individuals with similar or worse conditions. He performed a cervical laminectomy for me, and my surgical site healed within a month. Without the surgery, I would have had less than a year, as Dr. Boarini informed me. Initially, Dr. Boarini scared me, but looking back, it was fear of the unknown. Your feelings aren't paramount right now, and Dr. Boarini may be blunt if you're sensitive. It's worth noting that Dr. Boarini has strong endorsement from medical professionals I encountered along the way.
