Dr. B was really helpful in describing the cause of the pain and what needed to be done to help with the discomfort. Should have seen him first instead of the chiropractor. Highly recommend him.

I have seen several doctors over the years for lower back problems and none were ever able to tell me anything useful and properly diagnose me. Dr. Barcohana solved the mystery immediately. I wish I had seen him much earlier.

Seeing Dr. Barcohana was a mistake. Dominic Smith at SCOI had made me believe Dr. Barcohana would provide new insight to an injury that has never been properly addressed or diagnosed. Instead of insight, I was de-humanized by his talking into a tape recorder instead of speaking with me and it took his X-Ray technician to get through to him I have had over 8 X-Ray's on my spine that tell nothing about the injury. Very disappointed and since even their referrals were wrong today, I see no reason to go back for more abuse.
