— Healthgrades review for Dr. Joshua Levin"Not a pill pusher or over aggressive with injections or MRIs. Went through the range of options. I decided on therapy. Very happy."
— RateMDs review for Dr. David J. Kennedy"The doctors might be good at procedures... but the entire clinic is incompetent. It's taken me over a year... [and] they failed to contact my insurance company for pre-approval until the week before."
