Patient Reviews
Jan 06, 2025
Dr G saved me in 2009 when no other surgeon would. I had had 20 yrs of lumbar surgeries before that but needed another. He also saved my partner when he had a bad accident and needed cervical and lumbar spinal surgery. We wouldn’t go to anyone else!! He’s the best and so compassionate (and funny)! Wish he was still at Lexingyon though.
