Review for Dr. Adekanmbi

I had the misfortune of needing a steroid injection onto my hip joint. Dr. Hoppenfeld was friendly and professional and put my mind at ease. The injection was quick and the team ensured I was stable before I was released. I would recommend seeing Dr. H if you need this service.
