Dr. Tafel has helped me immensely. When i first went to Dr. Tafel my quality of life was intolerable. I had such neck pain from degenerative ostro arthritis I couldn't drive, sit to eat, etc. nor was I able to walk a distance without severe pain. After diagnosing my condition he came up with a treatment course that has changed my life. I can do all of the things I couldn't do before. He has a wonderful personality and is straightforward in his communication. I Highly Reccommend him Ralph Malafronte

Dr Tafel performed the procedure on my spine for leg pain. I have been 5 weeks totally without pain. I have full range and ease of motion. Thrilled with the outcome.

I was very impressed with the time and care that he gave me BEFORE he started to do his procedure on my wrist and palm of my hand. It is hurt but it was quick !! I would certainly recommend him for his expertise of his work.
