      Dr Oloff is the first dr in a very long line, who truly has his heart in his work. He is the best example of a medical dr that my husband and I combined have ever interacted with. He does his work from the beginning, all himself. He does not rely on the Radiology Report. He evaluates the MRI with the patient! We have found this to be rare and feel lucky to have a chance at getting better.

      Oloff was wonderful in all areas. We are trying to avoid surgery and trying topical to ease the pain .
