    Dr Numsuwan spent a lot of time with me, truly understanding my problem. He was thorough and careful to think broadly and figure out a good treatment plan.

    Great experience I found the... results and guidance received at end of visit particularly useful.

    Dr. Numsuwan is the best doctor--he is kind, actively listens to his patients, takes the time to read the chart and be update on history. I would recommend him to anyone who suffers from pain.
