First. I think Dr. Behar is a top Doctor. It is not the first time I went to him. He has solved all the physical issues my wife and I had over the last five years. I have absolute confidence in his medical skills. Yesterday he, again, diagnosed my ailment after a thorough examination and ordered the pertinent tests. His medical assistant followed up on the scheduling Issues quickly. The x-ray needed was done and the results Inserted Into MyChart by day's end. What else you want?

Dr Behar told me that he would provide exercises to ease my pain, but he forgot to do that. He simply prescribed pain meds which was not what I was wanting.
