I couldn't walk after an accident. Dr. Mir did a session on it and now I am walking pretty well instead of using crutches or a cane. He and his team are no doubt the best. They treated me as a family and after the treatment, I feel better. I appreciate his services as a doctor and patient.
Dr. Mir is a very nice person, he takes time to listen carefully to what his patient has to say. Everyone in this center is very nice, they are all truly dedicated to their patients.
