Great experience .Not only is he up to date with currant technology but advises you as to what is best for your particular situation and makes you feel very comfortable and confident that he knows what he is talking about . Great guy with a kind heart. Exceptional surgeon. Had a minimally invasive L3 /L4 fusion and scoliosis correction , four years ago, and my quality of life was greatly improved and all my pain is gone.
- Rudy
The unusual quality of professional procedure following and adequate diagnostic testing ,and an almost patient advocate ,empathy and heart filled approach to concerns , allows enough time for patient to relax to the point , that real painful complaints, are voiced and noted . Excessive and unnecessary procedures are to my opinion , not the tendency of this careful Orthopedic Surgeon and Gentleman .
