Dr Corvera was fantastic. He walked me through my scans pointing out key points that affect my potential for surgery. He explained details about my condition much better than at the hospital that originally performed my scans.

Outstanding Visit, I felt like an executive getting a briefing from his staff. The Doctor, his NP and RN were both there for the almost hour long visit.
