Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2024
Dr Ghostein took time and had patience with me understanding how I have lived with terrible pain for approximately 3 years. In March 2024 I underwent cervical surgery. At my first post op visit he was genuinely pleased with my progress. Of course telling me to take it easy for a time of healing. He is a very compassionate and caring individual. After the neck heals I’m undergoing back surgery with him. He is careful to explain my down time and recovery period following the surgery. I am so pleased with the outcome this far and wanting to undergo my back surgery. I must recover first he said. This man is #1 in my book! We even drove over 3 hrs to get to his office but WELL worth the drive. Thank you Dr Ghostein.
