Review for Dr. Nahigian
Dr. Hallana prescribed my 81 year old mother with heart problems, Hydrocodone-acetamin 5-325 Mg. This is medication is too strong for her heart. Luckily, I get the alerts for her prescriptions. This is a problem for elderly people going to see him.

Review for Dr. Hallaba
Very knowledgeable, patient and easy to talk to. He did not dismiss me even though in a wheelchair. He knew immediately how to fix the problem with ACDF surgery. He explained what would be done and possible issues. Everything went well and am thankful to be able to use my arm again.
