Dr. Anwar has been treating me for some time. He has treated arthritis in both hands, neck pain, sciatica and now a torn rotator cuff with joint damage. His stem cell treatments have changed my life. I have complete trust in Dr. Anwar regarding diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Anwar, and everyone in his office, treats me with respect and compassion. I have NEVER felt this way before.

The approach was very scientific. Wanted to try each baby step first and then the next level of treatment, rather than jump to the extreme.
