Dr. Devi is fabulous!
She’s an excellent doctor as well as a really nice person.
That is a rare combo.
The office is very minimalist and this makes it really efficient.
It’s Dr. Devi and 1 assistant.
Here, less is more. Patients are never told that something is being given to another staff member who is out today, etc.
Things get done and that is great.
Dr. Devi is pleasant, patient and down to earth.
I have 5 herniated disks in my neck and have been in a ridiculous amount of pain.
Not just in my neck. The disks impinge on nerves that also lead to brutal headaches.
I was in a constant fog from all the pain killers and still had pain!
I’ve been to other pain management doctors.
They want to make appointments to discuss other appointments.
Dr. Devi got to treating the problem ASAP.
She gave me trigger point injections and told me they can take a few weeks to work.
I was skeptical. But after some time, I noticed I had less and less need for pain killers.
As the expression goes: “the great thing about headaches is, it feels so good when they stop”!

Amazing doctor!!!!! I really appreciate how thorough and detailed Dr. Devi was. She went over all the different muscles and skeletal muscles to help me understand better what was going on with my shoulder. So I’m happy with my visit and would highly recommend Dr. Devi
