Patient Reviews
May 07, 2024
After almost 2 years of being bounced around from one specialist to another, I was referred to Dr. Berkman for low back pain. He quickly identified the problem from an MRI and referred me to have facet injections. I had been begging the Pain Clinic for the same injection which I had been denied.
