What an amazing experience. The way they have the facility set up is pretty cool. They are incredibly efficient, kind, and compassionate. Dr Uppal is very thoughtful, insightful, and seeks to help find the cause of your pain. Couldn’t ask for more. Plus was able to grab a latte at the cafe on the way out!

Dr. Uppal is the consummate professional. Caring, thorough and effective. He repaired my shoulder after a bad fall and has been treating my knee for a couple of years now, avoiding surgery, which has been my goal, and it is successful. I highly recommend him and the ROC team!
