BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
 Dr. Handleman graduated from the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1988.

In 1993, he began treating work-related injuries, which he continues to this day. He established a specialized practice in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems and chronic pain in 1995.

He traveled to Honduras in 2004 with the Hackett-Hemwall Foundation to participate in a Prolotherapy training and medical mission.

PAYMENT INFORMATION
With the exception of Prolotherapy, the medical services we offer can typically be billed to insurance. Please check with our office to determine if we participate in your health plan.
Prolotherapy is not a covered service under Medicare or insurance plans, and physicians are therefore not allowed to bill insurance companies for Prolotherapy. Patients must pay for Prolotherapy directly (cash, check, or credit card). Dr. Handleman does not participate in Medicare or Medicaid. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, you must sign a waiver acknowledging that these services will not be covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
