"I saw Dr. Shalmi for the first time today, 7/14. I am more then satisfied. He is pleasant, experienced and answers questions. His assistants are also as good as him. I’m looking forward to being pain free and following Dr. Shalmia’s advice. I highly recommend him."

"Dr. Shalmi is a conscience, kind and very good listener. He is extremely honest, smart and knowledgeable. He made me feel secure and comfortable which is sometimes a bit of a workout. I highly recommend using him."

"Dr. Craig Shalmi had his secretary call me the day before my appointment and cancel it. They said because I take medicine. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome the most painful disease that exists. Of course I take medicine. Didnt even want to talk to me and ask if I wanted to stop taking the medicine to which I would of said sure. Your the doctor, you make the decisions. He didn’t even have the courage to give me a chance. The moment they find out you have a painful disease they hide behind their secretaries. Wonder how he would feel if he had nowhere to turn to get his life back or at least be able to get out of bed without crying. I also have a Flowonix pump and he was the only doctor not in NYC that I could find. Don’t waste your time. They had me fill out 16 pages and get all my records and then canceled for no reason. He should be ashamed of himself."

"Dr. Craig Shalmi is the consummate professional. I came to him with a herniated disk in my lower lumbar region. Excruciating pain I never experienced before. He was quick to put me at ease and knew exactly what to do. In addition to being an excellent doctor, Dr. Shalmi is also a caring person. He took an interest in me and my progress, and saw it through to the end."
