Patient Reviews
Aug 01, 2022
I felt that Dr. Schuster really listened to me, and put thought into what his next step would be. Dr. Schuster is the first of many doctors that I have seen that chose a different direction as to what may be contributing to my chronic headaches, and focused on my neck rather than just my head. By doing this, Dr. Schuster has begun to make a difference with my pain. I’m a tough case, and Dr. Schuster has made a difference.
