thank you for the help.
I have been a patient of Dr.Mudgal for approximately 18 years. Between the office visits and surgical procedures, the care has been first class.
He was familiar with my last visit (18 months ago); asked questions about why I was here, how my last treatment worked and what symptoms I was experiencing. He gave a cortisone shot that was immediately effective.
Good afternoon. For me, he is an excellent doctor. I would recommend him to anyone in my family or anyone else. I am very satisfied. Thank you very much and good afternoon, thank you.
