Dr Lovenshchi & his PA were outstanding! He took his time and reviewed my MR and explained to me what his concerns( risk)about my condition were and what were the possible outcomes of taking different approaches! He seemed genuinely interested and concerned about my case and I felt at ease about his decision and expertise! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of his skills!
