I cannot say enough about how highly I regard Dr. Rosenquist. He is the reason that I have use of my hand after a disastrous surgery and an uncaring surgeon who ignored my CRPS symptoms. Dr. Rosenquist listens and is open to trying traditional medicine and a TENS unit and acupuncture. The latter has been most successful!
