I visited the office twice so far, and I must say that Dr. Lefkowitz addressed my concerns accordingly. He gave me an injection in my lower back which relieved my pain. Dr. Lefkowitz also ordered me a back brace that I wear when I’m outside. This doctor is on point and he truly cares about his patients health. I would recommend him to family and friends.
