Sid is great, not that getting jabbed by needles is the most delightful experience but he gave me breaks to catch my breath and made sure I was comfortable with his pace and made the overall experience better than I could have. I love Sid, he even made sound effects during the Botox appointment to try to calm my nerves.

Fantastic physician.

July 2024

I answered this in the 1st question but my physician is extremely brilliant in all aspects of neurological care having to do with my severe migraine headaches. I'm sure he covers so many other things but his bed side manor is absolutely the best. I feel he treats me as if I'm a family member and I love that about a doctor. I'd you get that type of treatment I think you are getting the very best he or she has to offer. I think that amazing Healthcare! I love my doctor and think he is brilliant and one of the very best!!!

June 2024

I was very nervous about seeing a new healthcare provider that was not familiar with my extensive Past Medical HX but PA Sidney put all of those fears and concerns at ease. Sid quickly exceeded expectations for what I would be looking for when adding a new healthcare provider to assist with making a difference in and Improving my Quality of life as a " Longterm Brain Cancer Survivor " . His honesty, compassion and thoughtfulness are things that I wish more physicians had.
