The PA, Alfred Melillo couldnt' have been nicer and more attentive than he was. I was very impressed with his kindness and the time he took to explain the details of the procedure that was going to happen, unlike the previous doctor I had for this same condition. I have been looking for help for my back problems for years and I think I finally found doctors who have listened to my concerns.
