Patient Reviews
Oct 08, 2024
Dr. Ricks performed a decompression and a TOPS lumbar arthroscopy on me. I had two prior appointments with him prior to being scheduled for surgery. I found him to be a great listener and he addressed all of my questions and presented treatment for my diagnosis. Follow up appointment after surgery was informative and Dr Ricks was genuinely engaged in my home healing and success of my treatment for my back issues. All pain is gone with no post surgery issues. Dr Ricks is a very talented surgeon who keeps his patients best surgical outcomes a priority and overall is just a very nice person. I highly recommend this kind and professional surgeon.
