"Dr. Margherita is very professional and has always helped me recover from my injuries in a very timely manner. I was recommended to him three years ago for my I-T band injury and I thought I would never run again... I was wrong – I have taken 1st place in two races and 2nd place in three races since then!! I recently visited him for a knee injury and it’s been only three weeks and I’m well on the road to recovery. He is an exceptional doctor. Thank you Dr. Margherita!!"
