Dr Pinto explained everything very clearly to me and my husband. He showed us the problem areas on my x-rays and MRI. He even checked our understanding by having me tell him in my words what he explained to us. He was kind and answered my questions clearly. He also gave his medical opinion about the treatment choice I should take. I felt comfortable with Dr. Pinto.

After years of being tossed around from one doctor to the next, Dr Pinto gave me light at the end of the tunnel. Relief on the way.
