Dr. Rana is very kind and polite to my 91 year old mother and me. He is punctual and answers all of my questions and concerns about her treatment. She has shown improvement in just 4 treatments with him. The office wait time upon arrival has also improved since seeing him. We would definitely recommend him to new patients.

He is quick but thorough. He makes sure you understand your condition explains the whole process and is careful with the injection. I have had three and have not experienced any issues or pain. He is thorough and detailed in the care.
