As usual and for the past seven years, Dr. Rances and his top-notch team are unparalleled in expertise, professionalism, compassion, and genuine concern for health and well being. I recommend Dr. Rances and Hudson Medical to anyone experiencing the myriad of ailments that follow us all as the candles on the cake increase in number.
The doctor treated me to help relieve my pain. I was able to return to work for 3 hours. Once I reached home I layed down and proper my shoulder on pillows.,I feel much better after the treatment. Thanks doctor Rances.
I’ve already published a review about Dr. Rances, unsolicited. But since Hudson Spine (a high quality medical provider) asked that I write one, I’ll reiterate from my last review. Dr. Rances is one of the few doctors that you can actually tell cares about his patients, despite the high volume he serves. His perspective is wide and holistic, and he’s not afraid to advocate for a patient above all else. High level medical acumen combined with sincerity is a truly rare find when it comes to physicians. You will experience both with Dr. Rances. (I’ve been a patient at Hudson since approximately 2016)

I've seen Dr. Rances for years. He is a great guy and listens attentively. He does not come off as arrogant and rushed as many doctors do. He was trained in eastern, as well as western medical science, so his viewpoint on medical issues is expansive with regard to perspective and approach. Certainly recommended if pain management is what you need.
