Patient Reviews
Dec 21, 2017
I have been treated for pain issues by Dr. Chavez for over 10 years! Dr Chavez is an incredible doctor! He helped me manage pain from not less than 10 orthopaedic surgeries including knee and shoulder replacement as well as multiple cervical and lumbar fusions! He is very kind and empathic while maintaining a healthy doctor patient relationship. I highly recommend Dr Chavez to aid in pain management!
