Very kind, caring, informative, and patient. Listened and answered all of my questions. I felt reassured and positive about the care I was given, as well as the care I will receive from him in the future.

Dr. Makhni was excellent in how he treated me. He answered all my questions and more. He explained everything in a way that I understood and he never rushed me. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would need his expertise.

Dr. Makhni helped me tremendously to understand the extent and nature of my neck problem and relieved me greatly. His experience enabled me to understand that my problem was not as severe as I thought and I was greatly relieved at the end of the visit. He took time to answer my questions and It was a thoroughly enjoyable visit in terms of the fact that he gave me answers to questions that I had and was very accommodating in that way. So, I greatly appreciated his efforts to help me.
