First Doctor to actually listen to me, and made me feel better (im not nuts). Showed me the problem areas, discussed different options. Recommend the least traumatic all the way to Surgical options. I have been dealing with these issues on and off since [...] as he seems the most knowledgeable and willing to give me the information straight up without sugar coating, and still was extremely respectful.

I like Dr. Amadeo bedside manners. He explained everything in laymen's term; and even used his model to demonstrate what is happening with the herniated discs in my back.
