George R. Nissan, D.O.
(Co-Director, Diamond Headache Clinic)
“We set a different criteria here of spending time with our patients and making sure they understand everything. It's very proactive and empowering. They should leave our clinic knowing their options and how we can work together to make their lives better. Through better communication; better follow-up; and better accessibility, we're making a real difference.”
