Dr Cushman was incredible. I came in for a cortisone injection not knowing what to fully expect and very anxious about needles, especially in a particularly vulnerable spot. His bed side manor was very comforting, he was positive and the process went more smoothly and easily than I could have ever expected. I was very impressed with how he conducted the procedure.
