Apr 02, 2025
Thanks to Dr. Taba, I'm on my way to a vastly improved life after spinal fusion surgery. Dr. Taba has provided encouragement and invaluable guidance to speed up my recovery, which demands the time and patience I sorely lack. I also owe a debt of thanks to Dr. Taba's team: Cathy and Iris. These ladies have demonstrated boundless kindness and patience as I pose questions for Dr. Taba. I am incredibly fortunate to have placed my faith in Dr. Taba, Cathy, and Iris. What a team!
