I can not say enough about the team that was in the procedure room. They worked hand in hand, never left me out of my own care. Explained everything they were doing to me before they did it. My procedure was extremely painful and they all worked with me to help keep as comfortable as possible.

Dr. Kohan was excellent. Her bedside manner is great. She tried distraction measurers while I was going through the painful part of the injections. She massaged my shoulders and legs. Very caring M.D.
