“Dr Ozuna is a highly recommended Dr. I wouldn't go to no other Dr than sports medicine north. Thanks ”
James B.August 14, 2024
“Dr Ozuna is very thorough, he reviewed all the details of my situation and has gotten orders in for more tests before my upcoming surgery. I highly recommend him and Dr. Shore as they are the team along with my neurosurgeon Dr Sufain and with the 3 of them collaborating and working together for my procedure I feel completely confident.”

The doctor was very dismissive of me and my pain. He spent maybe 2 minutes with me and was not nice.
