Patient Reviews
Mar 08, 2024
I can only say 'ditto' to all of the great reviews here. I've seen several doctors over the past 35 years, never finding an explanation nor solution for my pain. I too am 70 plus, and this appointment with Dr. Allende was the most professional and relaxed I've ever had. He spent an unbelievable amount of time explaining my MRI and understanding my symptoms. I believe his diagnosis and solution are spot on, and I hope to finally be out of pain soon.
