Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2022
It has been nearly 14 yrs since Dr. Place did spinal reconstruction surgery on me for severe scoliosis (at age 54) and I have done very well. He and his staff are awesome. I am so grateful to him and feel that he gave me my life back. He takes time to know you as a person. I have recommended him to others.
