I have been seeing Dr. Ben-Othmane for over 10 years. He is the best doctor! I know this because he has been referred to me by two doctors. The first second was the neurologist I was seeing and he referred me to "The best migraine specialiston on the peninsula."

Positive experience. With the volume of shots he must give me to make the treatment a success, he gives me breaks and I can ask for them, too.
