Story:
When I came to see Dr. Sultan, I was putting up with a number of menopausal symptoms. I also had a lot of pain in my arm from a 'tennis elbow' injury which just didn't seem to heal and made even handwriting difficult.
After seeing Dr. Sultan, my symptoms have gradually been disappearing and now, about 8-9 months later, I'm consistently feeling great, with no symptoms.
I've really appreciated Dr. sultan's dedication and thoroughness as well as his staff's many kindnesses.
