Review for Dr. Raphael

I was with another pain management clinic for 6 years And now with Dr Schaeffer with in 3 months my back pain is gone I definitely recommend him

Review for Dr. Schaeffer

I saw him only once after my regular doctor left the practice. During that visit he took my blood pressure and when it was a bit high, he told me to "stop eating so many fried foods". Except I don't eat fried foods. We hadn't discussed my diet. And everyone in my family has elevated BP. So I guess...

Review for Dr. Azar

My eyes feel wonderful after the amazing job Dr. Weinstein perform on me. He got to the root of my chronic eye problem. He carefully put my plugs on both eyes. I’ve almost forgotten I have dry eye syndrome. I highly recommend Dr. Weinstein.

Dr Distefano is a wonderful doctor. He is compassionate, patient and takes all the time one needs to make sure all questions you have will be answered. From initial visit, to surgery and post-op appointments he's the best!!!
