In patients' words

"After trying Botox, trigger point therapy & even Botox, I decided to do an ablation to the nerves that were sending the pain signal... has provided 50-75% of pain relief for 6 months already... It’s given me the best relief of anything I’ve done."

Vitals Review

"If I could give him 0 stars I would... He is easily offended by questions and disregards your feelings. If you don’t obey he gats upset and was huffing while we talked and scared me to the point of shaking."
