Most of my experience over the years is with Al Visnick but I've also seen Judy & Todd who are fantastic too. Most recently they weren't under my insurance but I went there out of pocket anyway because I don't trust anyone but Al Visnick to work on my spine. I have chronic issues with my spine and neck, exacerbated by my profession. Among his many talents, Al is an expert on the spine. Not only did he completely adjust my thoracic spine and neck to be better than ever, but he trained me to change my working environment and setup as well as my postural habits to the point where my chronic pain has essentially disappeared so long as I follow his advice. And because of the great work he did on my neck and spine, along with the simple at-home exercises he taught me to maintain it, I am able to very quickly get back to being pain free if I ever slip back into old habits. He's taught me to manage this essential part of my life so that I can work longer and more productively without any pain. I am forever grateful to him for this as I'd not be able to do my job without it. In addition to Al being a miracle worker, there's Todd, who is meticulous and amazing. My husband went to him for his chronic back issues. He used to regularly throw his back out and suffer a lot each time, but not only did Todd fix it every time, he taught my husband how to avoid re-injuring himself, as well as how to do maintenance and recovery exercises and stretched at home to the point that my husband hasn't had to go in for many years now. I've also gone to Judy a few times and find her extremely helpful not just for the physical therapy but also for her attentiveness, the questions she asks, and the incredible advice she gives. She had a gift for honing in on things you should be doing differently to reduce chronic pain, so even one session with her is really helpful.

The podiatrist barely even looked at me before saying "it's a sprain, you'll be fine by Monday." I angrily told him it was NOT a sprain, that I knew my body and something was wrong. That night had me back in ER for excruciating pain. Enter Dr. Friedberg the following week who, after some manipulation of my foot, and some questions concluded that I had a fascia tear that would probably take a few months to heal. Man was I glad I went to Dr. Friedberg! My foot did take a few months to heal, but he was nothing but kind, gentle, and professional through the entire process. He offered tips and tricks on how to regain strength and reduce pain, showed me my MRI images, and explained things in very simple and detailed ways. I cannot say enough good things about him, especially if you need a second opinion.

I have never experienced someone so careless and rude in a healthcare office in my LIFE. You're better off going to Emerson down the road.

Dr. Connors was professional, talented,experienced and had a wonderful way of connecting with patients. Their part time back surgeon is not the best. He is too busy and doesn't give the confidence that you need to allow someone to cut into your spine. His work was minimally acceptable. The doctor who specializes in shoulder surgery was a dissatisfaction. After doing a shoulder twice, he dropped the case by just stopping communication. I was given the name of a different doctor who he didn't have any real knowledge of and ordered a final scan the results of which he never spoke to me about. At a final meeting that I made to try and find out what we were doing next, he was detached, in a hurry to just drop the case. He was clearly not interested in continuing to try and find a solution. Being a senior doctor who heads the department, he was completely uninterested in continuing with me. I have had to find another surgeon to continue working with who is willing to find a way to correct the problem and find a way to help get the daily pain unDer some control. The support staff at Excel is the best I could ask for. They are helpful, courteous and go above and beyond to get you what you need. So, if you decide to use this business, be very aware of the unprofessional attitude of some of the surgeons and be sure to make the right choice.
