Patient Reviews
Oct 17, 2023
Dr. Manikantan is the best doctor I have ever had. Always makes sure I'm okay while sticking in those long needles. Tells me everything he is doing so I'm prepared for the next step. If you have a pain in the back you will never find a better doctor. I wish he could be my PCP also. I've been going to Pain Management for over 10 years. I know it's more but I don't know the exact date. Never a worry going there. Knowing you will feel better is a miracle.
