Patient Reviews
Sep 11, 2024
Amazing Dr! About 8 years ago I had been advised by another Spine Surgeon that I would need a back operation. I saw DrCheco who advised that while I had issues I was not a candidate for surgery now, “maybe is 6 years or so.” Well, it has been 8 years. I few months ago I was in agony again. Expecting the worst, I made an appointment, knowing a got an extra 2 years. Met with him. Said, no surgery now, prescribes an epidural and PT and for the last month and a half I have been pain free. The man knows his business. Truly an amazing doctor and more importantly, a tremendous human being. If you have any back issues, sue your back a favor and take it to see Dr Checo.
