Yesterday Friday, February 21 Dr. Behl came in the room and was prepared everything was set for him to begin both knee injections. He kindly waited a minute or so before he sprayed the area and did the first injection to get the most relief out of the spray. I had very minor pain with both injections which is always a pleasant experience. As he was at the door to leave I ask him a question concerning future injections and he stopped and answered my question again showing his caring and professional way.
