There are 3 Drs that advertise heavily in the paper and I'm looking for comments (good bad or neutral) from anyone who has had first hand experience with either Arthritis Relief Center or Physicians Rehabilitation or The Burress Medical Center.
If I've missed another option please let me know. I would prefer a first-hand experience than picking one blind. I've searched Talk of the Villages and haven't found anything related to this.
Same issue here. Dr. had to give me a Cortizone shot first, as per MEDICARE knows. He said it would not help and it did not. Then 2-3 weeks later I went in and had a gel shot. It has been 14 months and I do not need another one yet. However, he can give me one every six months. I believe this is a stop gap measure to anything more invasive.
