2 months agoToday was my first time seeing Dr. Hilal,. It was great! His office staff is absolutely fantastic, and the doctor himself is really exceptional. He was very thorough, asked a lot of questions and came up with the initial treatment plan that I can get started on pretty much right away. He also arranged for some imaging work to be done so that he is better able to fine-tune the treatment plan. I am very pleased.

3 months agoI was so thankful for Dr Hilal to listen take the time to go through imaging that I brought and take the time to consider the other orthopedics opinions before giving his own advice which ended up being a medication that has helped me greatly in my level of pain and comfort and mobility.
