Dr. Gendelman focuses on early diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment techniques for cost-effective recoveries that promote a healthy recovery while reducing time lost from work. While patient health remains the top priority of any dedicated physician, we take special consideration to achieve satisfactory results for all parties involved.
