Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Sanelli is a very patient and compassionate individual . He listens, he speaks softly and is very detailed in his explanation. His demeanor gives you a sense of comfort that everything will be alright. I have no doubt that he is truly an asset to your organization and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone desirous of his services.

THE BEST paint management Doc
He is meticulous, patient, understanding, listens, compassionate, and when you have a procedure with him, he tells you in detail exactly what he’s going to do and walk you through it. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my spine care when it comes to pain management been using him over 10 years now

I recently saw Dr. Sanelli for a fall I sustained while on working hours. He was such a doll!! So thorough. Compassionate. Kind. Answered all questions I had confidently. Not only did he examine me for an injury to my neck but knew enough to send me to an orthopedist who specializes in shoulders. Thank God!! I was in so much pain (and I'm not a hypochondriac, a cry baby or a drug-seeker) that I couldn't even pinpoint where it was coming from. I wound up having a SLAP tear. Thank You Dr. Sanelli.

My experience with Dr. Sanelli has been phenomenal!!!!!! He treated me with two epidurals in 2009 that lasted seven years and just treated me with two epidurals again in 2016 that resulted in total 100% relief from sciatica symptoms. He is thorough, professional and totally competent in pain management treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sanelli.
