Dr. Likver is kind and compassionate and very skilled and thorough. She has helped treat a lower back injury to connective tissue that many other doctors could not treat. Thanks to prolotherapy treatments I’ve been able to do things I have not been able to do for a long time. Though expensive for me, the treatments have been super helpful and worth it.

Dr. Likver helped me and my husband. She is very devoted to her profession. Always strives to learn and introduce new treatments. Doctor conducts traditional and non-traditional methods of treatments. I trust her because she wants to not only relieve symptoms, but also cure the underlying condition. Dr. Likver is not only a high level professional, but also a very good person, who patiently listens to you and answers all your questions. I would gladly recommend Dr. Likver to all my relatives and friends.

I came to Dr. Likver after having a spinal injury that hurt so bad I would wake up at night screaming. I received shots in the area of the injury that removed all the pain from the area and allowed me rest normally while it healed. She is truly an expert in her field and uses the latest cutting edge techniques.

If you have a problem that requires PRP, you must schedule an appointment with Dr. Larisa Likver and your problem ends. I have been having knee problems since 2010, during which time I have undergone two operations, various injections, acupuncture and two unsuccessful PRP treatments (performed by another doctor). It has been ten years. My problem still persisted. Until NOW. Why ? Dr. Larisa Likver !! She did injections of PRP, using Prolotherapy technique and Ozone and changed my life. I met with Dr. Likver who was extremely thorough. She had so much patience and took the time to answer all of my questions. She was extremely reassuring. And, she did her magic! I am now pain free. I consider myself so lucky to have found her. You also can be one of the lucky ones. I highly recommend her. You cannot get anyone better.

None of the doctors who I was seeing had been able to help me with the tendinosis in both ankles (from tennis) and an inner coastal muscle pull under my left breastbone (yoga injury). I am a very active individual: tennis, scuba diving, horse back riding etc and had almost resigned to a life of very limited activity. I kept getting: "Nothing to do. Just rest." I decided to take matters in my own hands and found Dr. Larisa Likver. She did injections of PRP, Prolotherapy and Ozone. All I can say is Dr. Likver has changed my life and is restoring my health. She is a wealth of knowledge, welcomes questions, is patient, reassuring, uber professional, warm, compassionate, always interested and caring. She WANTS you to get better, feel great and live your best life! The treatments aren't painful and I actually look forward to them. I went from being a "hopeless" case to now being able to do side bends, take deep breaths and reach for my Iphone without harming myself. Dr. Likver is one of the best doctors I have ever worked with and I am so grateful to be in her care. If you're suffering from chronic pain or trauma/injury related pain of any type do yourself a favor and make an appointment.
