Patient Testimonials

★★★★★

Dr. Hosny and his staff were phenomenal! I called and was able to get a same-day appointment after experiencing extreme back pain. The receptionist and office staff were accommodating and highly responsive. Dr. Hosny and Dr. Gupta are both exceptional physicians with fantastic bedside manner. I felt well cared for and comfortable asking questions so I fully understood the treatment plan. The PT team was also very helpful and even supported me with exercises and ordering resources I needed to expedite my recovery time. Thank you for offering excellence care with empathy!
