this doctor is one of the most careing person i ever seen, from lisening to me, to just understanding what pain is, i was in so much back pain from years of surgerys and he was able to pin point where i hurt, how i hurt , and then he had a plan, and we worked to gether one step at a time, i think what makes him so good is that he can really feel others pain, so dont go though pain alone, go see dr lavine and he will get ya back up and running,
