I would highly recommend Dr. Pupiales. He treated my knee condition (a result of a motorcycle accident) such that I felt relieved of a good portion of pain, and mentally relieved because I was now on a path of treatment that I was confident in.

Dr. Pupiales is excellent at what he does, that is pain management. He believes in trying everything possible (injections, radiofrequency etc) to prevent surgery and believes in Holistic approach to help manage as well.
