His talent, passion, and devotion to his patients is unparalleled by any practitioner I've seen in my career."
Davit Karepetyan

His devotion to his craft and his patients is truly special."
Stephen Grand
Businessman, Philanthropist
"Ten years ago I saw consulted with Lenny for typical back pain. Within the first several days he sensed something was more serious and ordered tests that discovered I had a life threatening type of bone cancer that, if diagnosed even two weeks later, would have been fatal. His experience, intuition and diagnostic abilities gave me the chance to be treated and save my life. I am forever grateful."
