Patient Reviews
Jan 23, 2024
He was able to give me pain relief when I almost couldn't walk any more. It was hard to get an appointment either. He diagnosed me with a type of arthritis that I had never heard of. Is called Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS for short). I am now doing Infusion therapy which is really starting to help. The medicines that he started me on helped but the infusion is really helping more. I feel like myself.
