My Pain Chicago Success Stories:

Our son was treated by Dr. Candido for crippling pain caused by HSV1 (herpes simplex virus 1) with neuralgia involving his entire forehead. Everything about his condition was extremely rare and difficult to diagnose. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Candido and his staff for saving our son’s life and saving our family
