Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very knowledgeable and courteous,

Awful! Dismissive, did not listen or answer questions. Ran over an hour late for my appointment which is extremely difficult for severe pain sufferers. After 50 years in practice, you'd think he'd pick that up. But he doesn't care at all & is an injection mill! After telling me my condition doesn't cause pain he still pushed injections..meanwhile, they make no sense for my widespread pain. I feel sorry for his next victims.

Shouldn't be in practice!! Told me I have too many conditions therefore I don't have them! Said " chiari malformation DOES NOT cause pain nor does syringomyelia"! WOW! And yet wanted me to come back for injections???? Also his office is filthy and stunk. ** SPARE YOURSELF!

Yes, I usually have to wait, but that's because Dr. Wani takes the time to evaluate each patient thoroughly. He doesn't mind answering questions (of which I usually have several,) and has a depth of knowledge that has helped in keeping my conditions manageable.

Amazing doctor! Performed trigger point injections in my neck for years, and always did his best to make them as painless as possible (not easy!). Talks through the entire procedure, if you're a regular patient he'll actually remember you and ask questions about your life (for me he'd ask about my studies at university), this is quite soothing and distracting during an uncomfortable procedure and made a world of difference.

I have been a patient of Dr.Wani's since 1986. He is very intelligent man and he is a pleasure to speak to.on medicine and procedures along with other things.an example we have koi ponds and he knew so much. He and his staff go out of there way to help you and listen to you. Not shove u out the door. I wish more Dr's were like Dr Wani.
