Review for Dr. Safain

Review for Dr. McGeeney

Dr. Mina Safain and Dr. Ran Ku are amazing doctors. They are like Batman and Robin that get things done. I’m a runner and had right leg pain for several years and thought it was my knee. After an MRI scan of my spine, I learned from Dr. Safain my problem existed from the cartilage being wore away at...
