Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2025
Dr. Vaca was up front of what needed to be done and explained the ACDF procedure and what to expect afterwards. Dr. Vaca did a great job repairing my neck and I am no longer in pain. I am able to use my right arm again and I feel that it will be back to normal soon. Overall, it was a great experience.
