Patient Reviews
Sep 22, 2024
Dr. Counelis is the best possible choice you could make for back surgery, always a very difficult and consequential decision. He did two back surgeries for me, one in an emergency situation. I feel deeply grateful for his excellent surgical care and caring follow-up service.
