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.

Dr Amadeo was excellent - straight forward, detailed, did not appear rushed although I know he has a tight schedule - easy to talk to and explained everything very carefully.

It felt like I was just a routine patient. When I said my condition was getting worse since the last visit it didn't seem to create any sense of urgency.
