I was referred by Dr Urgent Care in Flower Mound. I called on Friday afternoon, they responded and gave me an appointment for the following day. Their service and professionalism are 100% recommendable. And to their staff, I would like to thank them for all their services.

Dr. Sai was able to see what the cause of my unknown pain was by using an ultrasound prior to giving the injection. He's thorough, caring and gentle and discusses everything he is about to do.

It has been a pleasure working with Dr. Sai as I work towards the recovery of Achilles Tendonitis, while managing to increase my running & walking miles towards my upcoming Marathon next year!

He has done an amazing job of analyzing the severity of the situation and providing the right non-invasive long term solution considering the goals, training and timelines!

Doctor Sai Thank you!
You've been amazing, all I can say is I don't like Drs. But with Dr. Sai, I will gladly return for follow-up, he makes me feel comfortable, safe knowing that he is kind, professional, knowledgeable, feeling that I was in good hands and knowing that he was taking care of me and my foot, he was kind when he examined the foot and toes. He sure knows what he's doing, another thing I like about him is that he took his time, he didn't rush, he took his time. Thank you
It's nice to feel like they're not just looking after you for the money, but actually care, take the time to make sure that you are taking care properly and give you the best recommendations. (this is very rare these days)
Thank you Dr. Sai, your help has been amazing. I recommend it 100%
He is very good. I feel like he is god . My mother in law had a collis fracture and we took her to him. He accomodated us on a busy day, took time for us. He clearly explained about the fracture and spoke very neatly and patiently. He is not just a good doctor but a great human.
