Everyone in this office is amazing. Polite, kind, friendly and on time! Now to Dr. Umanoff, FABULOUS! Look I feel dr’s are not God, they are in practice but this man has taken his time to listen and to do everything he can possibly do for me. I am in continuous pain and Dr. Umanoff and Dr. Raab have been nothing short of amazing. They speak to you and not at you. Dr. Umanoff has gone above and beyond trying to solve my case and I thank him and his group for doing their best! I feel safe and confident with him. Thank you Doc.

This was my first post procedural visit. I was greeted by staff warmly and seen promptly. The doctor was patient, concerned, compassionate and professional. His bedside manner was exemplary and I never felt rushed. Dr Umanoff listened fully and answered all questions in layman's terms so I could fully comprehend my condition. Dx and Tx

All my visits have been great. Dr. Umanoff is truly a "one of a kind" doctor. He takes his time in explaining your diagnosis and cares about his patients progress. He is the best in the field. He has stuck by my side when my other doctors simply gave up on me. If your working for your quality of life back, Dr Umanoff and staff are your go to. I cannot say enough about him. He is great!

Everything went really well. I feel Dr. Umanoff knows exactly what he's doing and knows what's best for me. I never leave feeling that I haven't been helped. We always find a solution and ways to make me feel better without me being on lot of medicene. I've had to go through a lot of pain management doctors before. I found Dr. Umanoff and he is by far the best doctor I've ever had to help me with my pain.

Dr Michael Umanoff, I know Dr.U doctor over 10 years and trust him. Dr U is very knowledgeable and caring. I had a severe car accident and had major pain. His staff is great and very organized. Dr U makes sure all issues are resolved. This office has a compassionate assistant named Myra who makes sure when you leave everything is ok. Today I am pain and med free and how much I trust him brought my son to him after his car accident. Thank you Dr U for all your help and patience.....

After suffering for weeks I had an evaluation with Dr. Umanoff. His expertise in knowing exactly how to relieve my severe arm, neck and shoulder pain. After injection into the cervical nerve root, my pain went from a 10 to a 7 to a 2 within 12 hours. He and his staff are very compassionate and kind.

I have been seeing Dr Umanoff for a couple of years now and challenge him with pain all over my body. With his patience and compassion we have been chipping away at my various pains and keeping me active. Dr Umanoff always takes the time to listen to me and my husband as well as answer all of our questions. I am very grateful for the level of care and empathy shown to me by he and his staff.
