Wow, Dr Posner was the right choice for me as he is so extremely knowledgeable, kind and caring. I knew I had the best doctor for me when I met with him and knew I was in trusted hands throughout my treatments. When I had a small hiccup after my treatments were completed,I got an appointment right away and he reassured me that the soaking treatments etc would help immensely. He was so right and appreciate his knowledge and caring and the exceptional team he has. I would highly recommend him!
