Absolutely amazing experience. The best run medical office I have ever been to. I had a total hip replacement 31 days ago and I am walking with no pain or assistance unlimited distances. Today started stretching and light workouts.

I went to Dr. Cammisa after struggling for five years with a chronic spinal issue. I had previously seen many other Drs. to include Orthopedics, Neurologists, Chiropractors and Neurosurgeons. I had also had previous surgeries for my back that did not address or alleviate the issues causing me pain....
