Patient Reviews

What our patients say

“I have been to this office several times for different injuries. The entire staff is kind and efficient, right from the first phone contact. Dr. Formica is great and is able to explain how and why she is treating my injury. The office technicians, assistants and front desk people are all professional and kind and never seem in too much of a hurry to answer a question. Highly recommend!”
Patient review
“I had a very wonderful experience with Dr. Mehran Manouel. After diagnosing my left and right knee problems, he gave me injections with Gel-One Cross-linked Hyaluronate. My knees are now much better, and I look forward to better days. I thank Dr. Manouel for his attention, care and expertise. The staff at his institution was also very attentive and professional.”
Ephraim G.
“Dr. Formica and the entire staff are knowledgeable, friendly, attentive to the needs of the patient, and actually listen. You do not ever feel rushed: they take the time it takes to evaluate and provide the best care. I would happily recommend them to anyone needing any orthopedic treatment!”
