Dr. Shirazy and his treatment proved amazingly well for me. I suffered from neck injuries dating back almost 40 years. Didn’t want surgery. No other treatment(s) worked. Never.
I lived and worked in excruciating pain for decades. (Several worned out cervical disks hitting nerves.) Since Dr. Shirazy’s stem cell therapy, and for the first time (ever), I am neck pain free (treatment was on May 10, 2019). I am thankful (beyond words) for this procedure and to Dr. Shirazy for the incredible relief with which he afforded me.
