"I’m a 20 year Veteran of the United States Army. Been retired now twenty years. I have a rating of 100% disability through the VA. My medical history of pain consist of a list of surgeries in the past (5 on my Lower Back)(6 on my Right Shoulder)(4 on my Left Shoulder)(3 on my Left Elbow)(2 on my Right Elbow)(2 on my Left Knee)(4 on my Left Ankle) and (2 on my Left Foot). I was in constant pain for many many years and was told by all my doctors I’d just have to get use to living with chronic pain. Approximately 7 years ago a friend of mine referred me to Dr. Mehta. This was the best decision of my life. Dr. Mehta is the most caring doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to, not only does he address my pain but he’s always giving me the best health advice I could ask for even when it doesn’t apply to what I’m seeing him for. I trust Dr. Mehta so much that when my primary physician or any specialist I’m see gives me advice on a procedure they want me to have I ALWAYS ask Dr. Mehta for a second opinion, his option is the one respect the most and normal goes with. When I first meet Dr. Mehta seven years ago he explained to me that I’ve had too many surgeries in the past, at the time I was only 52 years old. Therefore giving him total trust with all my decisions when it home to procedures, because no doctor has ever said I’ve had too many surgeries in my lifetime. My wife says she love his bedside manner he always keeps her informed on what’s going on when he’s conducting a procedure and she in the waiting room she always well informed from start to finish. Last but not least as my wife and like to travel abroad doctor Mehta informed us that it would be to our best interest to take along with us a note detailing all my medications something we knew nothing about. Thank God he did cause soon as we arrived in Dubai year for last my medication was one of the first things they asked me about, Please take all my grammar mistakes with a grain of salt I don’t normally write. Thank you so much for the better quality of life you given me."

"I was referred to Dr. Vivek Mehta by my primary care doctor because of weird chronic pain in my feet and legs. Dr. Mehta knew right away what was the cause of my pain, peripheral neuropathy, due to alcoholism. Even though I was well aware that I was drinking too much, Dr. Mehta was the first doctor to look me in the eye and tell me that he could not treat me unless I quit drinking. This was the ah-hah moment that led me to alcohol rehab and recovery. I am now over 60 days sober and in deep gratitude to Dr. Mehta for his candor and honesty. I personally consider this life saving treatment, because alcohol was slowly killing me."

"I was in so much pain because of a herniated disk. My regular PCP sent me to Dr Mehta to see what could be done to relieve the pain I was experiencing. My fist appointment with Dr Mehta was a routine here is whats going on and here is what we can try to do to help eliminate the pain. Felt very comfortable with what Dr Mehta recommended. We were looking at a spinal epidural injection into the herniated disk. Well to make a long story short I had my 2nd injection last Thursday on the 11th. Oh my josh the relief I have now. I have gone from taking 600mg of Gabapentin 3 times a day to 1 400mg once a day. Thank you Dr Metha."

"I recently went to Dr. Metha for a procedure to relieve persistent sciatica pain. He was a very professional and personable individual. He took the time to explain the procedure and address my questions and concerns so overall I felt quite comfortable under his care. It had been so long since I had been pain free that I had forgotten what it felt like. The injections were well worth the minor discomfort and I would recommend Dr. Metha to anyone who has been having pain issues."

"Dr Mehta was recommended to me by my Spine Surgeon. I have complete confidence in both Doctors. Dr Mehta is both highly qualified and personable.He took time with me to access my situation and carefully plan my treatments. I am happy to report wonderful results with my 2 treatments. I was barely able to walk or stand , but now I am driving, only using a cane for long walks. I am very very happy! What a God Send!
