Patient Reviews
Mar 08, 2025
Dr Pahl has done multiple surgeries on me over 10 years. the first one was to correct a botched procedure from another surgeon. Over the years I have come to consider him more than just my doctor. I consider him a friend and someone who truly cares about helping his patients and not someone who cares a thing about the money involved. I've never seen with another surgeon that is so respected and liked by everyone that works with him because he treats them so well. If you ever mention his name to someone that works with him all you will hear are praises and every word of that is the truth. He's done some pretty major spinal surgeries on me and always offers the latest up to date options always keeping minimally invasive in mind for the patients best recovery time. I never have a second thought or hesitation when he recommends something to me.
