Wonderful experience. Punctual, friendly checking. Dr Howard was caring, kind, and understanding. He took the time to explain the X-rays and we discussed treatment options. He patiently answered all of my questions. Cortisone injection was quick and very effective :) Thank you very much!

Dr Gularte is a great doc. He has a great calmness and listens. He is compassionate, and really does have empathy.
This guy is not just a really nice and caring person but also a great doctor. He listens and gives great feedback. Not only that, but had my first round of spinal injections today and felt nothing! Had a lot from other good docs but this was the absolute least painful…
Working with Dr. Meckel‘s competent and caring team was an absolute pleasure. I was very well informed at every step about what to expect. Staying in communication with the team was facilitated by a high-performing app as well as text messages reminding me of my appointments. I could fill out paperwork and check in to appointments digitally, which made it all so easy. I recommend this practice to anyone who has spine and joint issues.
Very Good group of people ..Front desk young lady very kind and professional. I waited less than five minutes and my name was called by Nathan the Medical Assistant. ..Dr Pitta.. took extra precautions on my knee ..since I fell before my appointment to make sure no hairline fractures.. Good stuff.. they Really Care. I personally give them a (95%)!!!
Dr Kasim is Amazing! I have had 4 Joint Replacements and this last Lt Shoulder replacement done by her one year ago was my most successful! My recovery was the quickest and her Pain Management was “ Spot On!” I have no pain and can do anything I want to! I swim twice a week and work in my garden with no restrictions! She is so Smart and Skilled! I love the way she dresses so beautifully! I feel that shows patients a great deal of respect! She is so patient…I never feel rushed at my appointments! She and all of her office are so accessible! They respond immediately! I am so very lucky to have found her! Tricia Calabrese
Dr. Gularte is the best! He listens to your concerns and takes you seriously. He treats you with respect and believes what you say; even every little weird, odd symptom-he listens and pays attention. He never discounts what you’re going through or the severity of your pain. Some doctors do that. Not him. He really cares. Sometimes I feel like I’m complaining and whining nonstop and I’ll apologize. He’ll say it’s ok-he’s here to help and he knows it’s not personal. He’s a very nice person who lifts you up. Honestly he’s one of my best doctors ever (and I’ve had a lot.) I may be biased but he’s also the best doctor at MSJ. He’s a great doctor. I know others who see him and are also very satisfied with their care. I highly, highly recommend him.
Dr Pitta is the best! He is knowledgeable, extremely competent, warm, and caring. He replaced both of my hips during the past year. I’m very pleased to report I have had no complications thanks to his excellent surgical technique and follow up care. I highly recommend him.
