I felt comfortable with him and confident that his goal was to help me be as pain free as possible. I appreciate the fact that he was about strengthening and not suggesting surgery.

    Dr. [REDACTED] I haven't seen the doctor in over 2 years. She asked about current symptoms, updated medical information, completed physical examination and discussed possible interventions & treatments. Dr. [REDACTED] is always professional, thorough and compassionate. She collaborates with my orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. James SanFilippo. And refers to the latest medical films and reports during the evaluation process.

    I thought it was very nice. The only thing is I wished I had the x-rays that he took for my benefit. He operated on me, my back, and I had Parkinson's and I fell and I thought maybe I had injured it, but I didn't. He said it was okay, but I really would have liked to have the x-rays. Okay, thank you. He is very good. Excellent.
