Patient Reviews
Mar 28, 2016
Dr Makaretz treats me for bilateral vestibular weakness and BPPV. He testified in a deposition for me and I was successful in obtaining a disability retirement. The time he took to explain my condition to the attorneys was pivotal in my receiving the disability. He has always been professional, compassionate and willing to listen.
