Both Noemi and Maria were professional and caring... a pain free treatment. Thank you!!
Dr. Michael Gitter is the most compassionate and caring doctor I've ever come in contact with… one wound completely closed, the other getting smaller.
After only a few UltraMIST treatments, my wounds are healing up fast and I’d say the swelling in my legs has gone down about 75%. And guess what’s the best part: zero pain.
