Dr. El-Hassan was wonderful! We talked about the history of all the neck problems I've had including the most recent issue. He looked up the notes from years ago to get a better idea of what was wrong. He then reviewed my recent MRI results with me, showing me where my pain is coming from. He discussed options for treating the issue and we agreed on the path forward. I'm really glad I've met Dr. El-Hassan. I feel he will take really good care of my neck issue moving forward.
