Mar 23, 2024
Dr. Schlifka, is by far the finest neurosurgeon in South Florida and the Treasure Coast! He has done a lot of reconstructive surgery to my spine after 25 years of having surgeries and treatment after treatment after treatment. he has completely made me hole again, and I have the spine of a normal person. I’m very grateful for him. He’s so compassionate, he has mastered his craft, just amazing, he’s better than any other doctor that I’ve ever had in the 59 years of my life. Please don’t wait, make an appointment now.
