My work can be very tough on the body. Small injuries usually progress if not attended to and I did not attend to them. By the time I came to see Dr Zelefsky, I was in agony. He and his staff not only got me back on my feet, but they were kind, quick about it, thorough and well within my insurance means so I did not incur exuberant bills.
