Patient Reviews
Dec 04, 2024
I contacted Dr. Carkner with concerns regarding possibly a new level spinal issue as I had successful ALIF spinal fusion surgery a year ago. I was able to have consult with him a couple of days later. As always he took the time to listen to my concerns and then explained the anatomy of my spine and how it related to what I was experiencing. While I was thinking the worse, he calmed those anxieties and provided me with a solid game plan moving forward.
