Our Stories
David Peroni, patient of MVHS Orthopedic Group
“I had experienced back pain for years and decided it was time to do something about it. I searched around and asked my primary doctor for a recommendation, and he suggested I see Dr. Aymen Rashid.
I’m so glad he did, and I would recommend Dr. Rashid to anyone.
Dr. Rashid is so thorough and attentive. He asked a lot of questions and really listened to my answers. He is conscientious and compassionate, explaining everything to make sure I understood my options.
He’s the type of doctor that really cares about your health. After Dr. Rashid operated on my back, he followed up with me once I was home to make sure I was doing well.
Some doctors make you feel like you’re just a number. But Dr. Rashid makes you feel like it’s all about you.”
