Leaving musculoskeletal problems alone seldom solves them.

    “I visited Dr. Prins today after suffering acute pain with my rotator cuff. Dr. Prins took time to explain to me the physics of the rotator cuff and the cause of the pain. He treated me timeously and efficiently. He is accommodating and very knowledgeable. Thanks DR. Prins.” – Renesh Buldeo
