Dr.Petrolla is always super thoughtful in explaining the full picture of what’s going on, what’s causing pain, and what the options are to resolve your problem as effectively and carefully as possible.

It wasn’t like my first visit. Dr Patrolla and his staff made feel like I have been treating there for a long time. He talked about my treatment plan and included me in the conversation. Previous Dr’s have told me what they were doing but didn’t ask for feedback from me. I believe if anyone will be able to give me some relief it will be Dr. Patrolla.

I know Dr. Petrolla for several years due to very bad sciatica on the right side. wich was preventig walking. I met him in 2024 after having back surgery of the left side and I didn`t wanted having it on the right side.. He sugested peridural injection and at the first one I was able to walk 4 miles. this has been working for several years. Unfortunately this stopped working last years. He suggested the use of a nerve stimulator and I went on 04 07 2026 to try this equipment for a week. Depending on the resul, we will discuss whether or not to have this nerve stimulator implanted.. Thank you Dr Petrolla

Dr. Petrolla put shots into my low back for pain. As always, he did a great job making something that can be unpleasant fly by telling you exactly what he is doing while carry on a great conversation! Wait time was under 5 minutes and staff, as usual, was friendly and courteous!
