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.

The best doctor! Very knowledgeable, he has great communication making sure you always feel at ease. Extremely professional and with a lot of experience. He helped me overcome the worst pain that I had in my back due to an injury, the best part, it was without surgery. All he used was an injection that didnt hurt at all. He has amazing skills.. The office is very clean, well equipped with the best technology and all of his staff members are very friendly , always very warm and they went extra way to make sure I feel good when ever they saw me nervous.. They made this process for me easy as a walk in the park when I was prepared to expect the worst.. I recommend Dr Anijar ! He is truly The best !

I Highly Recommend Dr. Anijar
I went to Dr.Anijar, after seeing many others, about a variety of clerical and lumbar spinal conditions I have that occurring from an auto accident in which my car was hit. He was recommended by my neurosurgeon and I couldn’t be happier. He immediately understood my concerns and started treating me. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. He took the time to explain every step of my conditions and what the treatments would be and what I should expect as the outcome of each. As an older patient, I recently realized that it was necessary to change all my Doctors to the newer generation of younger Doctors who have been educated and taught on all the new machines and techniques that were not available in the past. Dr. Anijar is proficient in this regard and I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a real professional as your Doctor.

I had a recurrence of RSD after 15 years. My left foot swelled up and I was in exteme pain, my right foot quickly followed. My upper legs, mainly the quads were in extreme pain for a year.A successful DRG device, for the foot pain, was inserted by Dr. Gonzalez. However the Quad pain required a Burst DR device Dr. Anijar with his associates Dr. Asaad and John Shaw, successfully, implanted the device. Miraculously, a week later I could get up from a chair without holding on to anything or anyone. And I could walk with only a cane. Thank you Dr. Anijar. Barbara Rubin
