Patient Reviews
Oct 01, 2020
Dr. Sweet performed surgery on my back to relieve numbness in the legs and buttocks caused by pinched nerves. Now, 6 weeks after surgery I feel the best I have in years; numbness and pain are gone. Dr. Sweet is both a very fine surgeon and a very fine person. I highly recommend Dr. Sweet.
