    Dr. D. Schechter is a doctor that is both extremely professional and thorough yet caring and understanding as well. He makes sure to ensure his patients are made to feel heard and seen while providing a safe environment to heal. There is no better pain mgt doctor than him, period.

    Dr. Schecter has been my pain management Dr. For seven years. On and off I've had multiple surgeries for multiple issues. Dr. Schecter has taken care of me through out all of them. He always explains my treatments whether procedures or injections to help with my pain. I feel like he really care about my health and wellbeing.

    Dr. S is great! An aside fyi- in addition to my back pain and injury, I take care of my elderly sister. She is also a patient of Dr. S. She has many issues and it is very difficult for me to get her up, out of the house, in the car ( I have to borrow a car- I can't get her into my suv) , then out of the car and into the office. It is an ordeal for her as well as for me. Based on this, these video visits are a godsend. It is so difficult to get her to the office in person.
