In patients' words
"Great bedside manner. Very attentive, caring, friendly and spent a good amount of time with me trying to solve my complicated orthopedic issues. Made great recommendations and referral to onother specialist and did a surgical injection that helped my pain immensely. Highly recommend!"
— PainClinics.com"Run the other way!!! This man misdiagnosed a very serious life threatening illness. Don’t be fooled by his education. He doesn’t listen and he doesn’t read imaging reports. I would never go back to this doctor."
