Patient Reviews
Mar 18, 2023
I’m choking up writing this. I am the mother of a young single mother who I watched in horrible pain for 8 years and go through 4 surgeries in that time. The surgery you did that stabilized her spine changed all our lives. You told us you couldn’t guarantee anything but that you would do your best to fix her, you were humble with your words but confident in your eyes. She can play with her baby. I mailed the picture to your office. God bless you and your family and all your helpers.
