Patient Reviews
Dec 28, 2023
There is a waiting period during regular appointments. This doctor is interested in complete knowledge of your problem and will spend the time with each patient to gain this information. Anyone that needs spinal surgery needs someone that is interested and capable of providing an excellent result. My Lamenectomy has completely removed the nerve pain I was living with.
