Patient Reviews
Sep 29, 2022
I saw Dr. Best for postherpetic neuralgia. He was very informative. He scheduled an EMG Test to test for nerve damage. He explained the test to me and my husband as he was doing the test and went over the results. He does require masks and a covid vaccine. I have no problem with that. It is his office policy and i respect that. If you don't agree go somewhere else instead of complaining, Nice staff.
