My injections went very well. It does hurt for a minute or two. But the results are much better. He has an outstanding office team that's always willing to help you. I just love this place.

Saw Dr Vakil for injection in bursa. Another Dr. wanted to due a hip replacement over a year ago. I said no and found Dr Vakil again after I saw him years ago for femur fracture.Dr Vakil looked at mri and X-rays and showed me that a hip replacement was not warranted. He takes his time to explain and answer questions. So glad I found him again!

Excellent surgeon and orthopedic dr. Usually on time or early. Replaced my hip in 2018 and my knee 2 weeks ago. Hip is excellent and knee is healing well. I highly recommend him and his excellent staff. Thank you all!
