    I am pleasantly shocked that Dr Pico treats me as though my opinion truly matters. In every aspect, he listens to me carefully, which really matters because I've had this headache for 45 years. I believe he is really invested in trying to figure out how to alleviate my pain and I am in all ways Indebted to anyone of his Quality, who will take the time to help me. I've had good doctors before, but Dr Pico is at the very top of my list.
