Patient Reviews
Mar 05, 2023
I had my first meeting with Dr. Birnbaum recently on a telehealth visit. I am preparing for orthopedic surgery and I have several chronic illnesses for which pain medicine is required. My doctor referred me since I already have daily opioid pain medicine in low doses. He was extremely cordial and sincere. His main goal is simply to make sure that I get adequate pain management after surgery. He was very respectful and reasonable and I hung up knowing that the call might not have gone so well with another doctor. We talked about a number of interesting things. I think he's outstanding/
