Patient Reviews
Nov 09, 2024
I had been suffering moderate to severe pain for nearly a year before being referred to Dr Akeyson. An MRI showed only a decompression at the L3,4&5 would give me a chance at being pain free. Surgery was preformed and I no longer have pain. Recovery was straightforward and I’m doing well. Dr Akeyson is a gifted surgeon. His PA’s and staff treated me with respect and answered my questions. I highly recommend Dr Akeyson.
