Very thorough, patient and knowlegable 🙂

From doctor.com

Very knowledgeable and professional.

From doctor.com

Good listener, takes her time with the patient to get a good history and physical exam.

From doctor.com

I came to Dr. Cardamone after my physical therapist recommended her.  I had chronic pain and stiffness in my neck and a lump in my back that 5 other doctors could not explain.  They sent me away saying they could not help me.  As frustrated as I was, I decided to try Dr. Cardamone.  During my first visit I immediately felt comfortable with her.  She was so personable and I felt she truly cared.  After my evaluation, not only did Dr. Cardamone know what was wrong, she said she could help.  I had hope for the first time.  Dr. Cardamone never rushes through any appointment.  She assesses all physical symptoms and also asks about many other aspets of my life; my job, my exercise workouts, stress and emotional health.  She takes the whole person approach in deciding what is best.

My treatments consist of perineural and prolozone injections.  After each visit I feel immediate pain relief.  The injections also promoste healing to chronic problem areas I’ve suffered with for over 20 years.  I feel better now than I have in a long time.  Dr. Cardamone is not your typical doctor.  She treats me more like a friend then a patient.  She gives so much personal attention and does truly care about her patients.  One other thing I appreciate is she will always make accomodations for me to get treatment if I have a severe flare-up, even if her day is booked solid.

I highly recommend Dr. Cardamone to everyone.  See her first and not as a last resort as I did.  You will not be disappointed.

Severe arthritis in the knee is greatly improved with prolozone injections. Also improvement with neuropathies. Highly recommend.

From doctor.com

Dr. Cardamone is extremely knowledgeable and cares about her patients. She ensures that all patients receive the best treatment available, while focusing on a holistic approach to their overall health and wellness.

vitals.com

Kind and friendly doctor and staff. Helpful and compassionate care. Takes time and listens. Open and easy to work with.

From doctor.com

I have had major neck problems for over a year and had physical therapy, chiropractic treatments, x-rays and used home remedies. It got so bad that I could not turn my neck to the right without being in severe pain. Losing all hope I decided to take a different approach for treatment and found Dr. Cardamone. When I met with her she took the time to explain my condition and provided me with holistic injections in my neck along with home exercises that I can do. Being a single mother of 2 boys there was no time in my schedule to go to physical therapy a couple days a week. Since my visit I have been pain free! Thank you Dr. Cardamone. You are the wizard to me OZ!

Dr. Cardamone treats me for facet joint arthritis and spinal stenosis. She is an amazing diagnostician and her treatment allows me to lead a very active life with no drugs. I don’t know what I would do without her.

Vitals.com August 2012

My experience with Dr. Cardamone was wonderful! She took the time to listen to me and explained clearly what her diagnosis was and that there were several new treatment options available to me for my upper back pain! No one ever took the time to explain my condition to me like Dr. Cardamone did and after trying a newer treatment called Perineural injection Treatment my pain is gone!

From doctor.com

I am a chef for over 20 years and have constant knee and back problems. I recently went to Dr. Cardamone for severe knee pain due to standing for 11 hours a day. I have had surgery on my knee before and multiple cortisone injections with minimal relief. Dr. Cardamone provided me with a natural approach by performing prolozone injections which made my knee feel so much better. She has is very patient and takes her time with you unlike other doctors who only spend 5 minutes with you. I would recommend her to anyone who is in pain and has tried traditional treatment.

Gabe C.

Only one week and my pain has gotten better.

From doctor.com

Love her, love her, love her. After suffering from intense pain for almost a year now this lady made me feel better after just my first treatment! I’m seeing her now and I hope she will bring health back to my knee! Absolutely professional!

Marga T.

I have been to several Dr’s without any help. Dr Cardamone pinpointed the area and for 3 years have been pain free and off all pain meds. If Dr. Cardamone can’t help you no one can!

John

I have been to many Dr’s and no one could help me, until Dr. Cardamone. I am 90 years old and can walk and sleep without pain. Thank you Dr.

Ann

Dr. Cardamone took the time to explain the procedure and was very knowledgeable and patient. It is very easy to trust her. My symptoms have improved greatly and I was able to wean off pain medication.

From doctor.com

More than her compassion and positive attitude, Dr. Cardamone’s technical skill has been unmatched.  She was the first doctor (of the dozens that I’ve seen) to reduce my daily, continuous pain with perineural injection therapy (water and dextrose injections) and plantar fascia ozone injections. This gave me hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Dr. Cardamone’s ability to manage pain with alternative methods is remarkable.

Chloe W.

I just want to say thank you! Since I’ve been treated by you for my injury, I feel better than I ever thought I could (considering the daily pain I was experiencing), I know the treatment won’t last forever, and at times I feel it rearing its head. But for the past few months, I thought I’d like to report that I feel great! Hope to not have to see you anytime soon, but if I need help, I know where I’d go for good help. Thanks again.

Joe

The most pain relief Ive felt in years. Dr Cardomone takes time to listen and cares which is wonderful. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs pain relief.

From doctor.com

I will recommend Dr. Cardamone to anyone I know who needs help with pain.  She is a thorough and dedicated doctor.  She cares, she did NOT medicate me like other doctors . . . Dr. Cardamone, Thank you for giving me my life back.

Frances B.

Made me feel instantly like I was in the right place. They took the time to answer all my questions or point me to the person who would. Staff went out of the way to even schedule an appointment with another doctor. I am absolutely impressed!

Joann

I so wish I came to this office first before my past Dr. In two weeks I already feel better than the whole time seeing other Dr’s and PT’s, and bonus everyone here is so nice and they actually care! How many Dr’s can you say that about? I would recommend this office to anyone! They are just Awesome!

My experience with Dr. Cardamone was very good and positive. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for your treatment.
