My visit with Dr Powers was exceptional and I would recommend him to anyone who has severe back issues that are not alleviated with non-invasive measures. On the other hand ZOCDOC is something to avoid. Dr Powers office is in no way affiliated with ZOCDOC. All the work I did to put my medical information in place so check-in would be smooth was wasted because the information is in no way accessible to the doctors office. My message is AVOID ZOCDOC. From what I can tell it is an uninvited fraud. I will delete my account there as soon as possible.

I was seen in a timely manner and Dr. Powers explained everything to me about how he was going to handle my case.
Very informative. Large amount of data to process to make informed decision.

He's wonderful. Diagnosed and corrected a problem that had been plaguing me for two years and had been missed by another doctor. Takes his time with you to explain everything in detail; wonderful bedside manner and has a great staff. Highly recommend.

Dr Powers is one of the very best! Outstanding technical knowledge and friendly bedside manner. He really cares about his patients, takes the time to explain their condition, prognosis and recommended treatments. He seeks first non-surgical solutions. He has my highest recommendation!
Verified patient
Although I wanted for an hour, I was very impressed by the staff and Dr. Powers. He took the time to read my healthreport and then spent 30 minutes listening about my concerns. I was ver pleased. Thank you.
Verified patient
An absolutely brilliant physician combined with common sense and practicality. Almost, an impossibly perfect combinationcrhst is extremely rare to find.
Verified patient
Very professional and answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed and felt very comfortable with his manner and professionalism. Only difficulty was scheduling a followup new appointment after the 3 epidurals he asked me to set up.
Verified patient
The office is very pleasant. I waited for about 20 minutes before I was called in. I waited about 10 more minutes in the room, however, that's because Dr. Powers goes in detail with his patients about the symptoms, what to expect, and next steps. So it was worth the wait. I left there with a better understanding of my situation. I will definitely recommend him.
