Dr Rizvi is a good doctor. Ive been with him for a little over a year and he's pretty cool. I am not nervous around him like I am some doctors. I can say what I feel and he doesn't get all bent out of shape. He listened to me the very first visit when I told him about my situation and he didn't dismiss me. If I have any questions… he's always there for me. He will sit and explain anything I need and I believe he has my best intrest in mind. He is very professional.

I went from feeling terminal to feeling like I can contribute to life again. I had seen pain doctors for 11 years and spinal surgeon and was only offered injections and pain medicine. With the new veriflex procedure I am 85% improved!! Only 3 weeks out I am hopeful of even more improvement. My thanks to Dr Rizvi and his staff for their treatment and compassion.
