Patient Reviews
Jan 11, 2022
I had surgery with Dr. O'Rourke back in 2013. Unbeknownst to me at the time the surgery was incredibly successful. I had a cervical fusion. Dr. O'Rourke is without a doubt one of the most intelligent people I've ever met. He is not warm and fuzzy but he's very good where it matters. I'm many years out from my surgery and doing well. I actually followed his career because I also find his work incredibly fascinating even though I don't fully understand it. The man is brilliant.
