Sep 21, 2023
Long story short, he saved my life and I could not be more great full. When everyone turned their back on me and let me suffer in pain for months and “couldn’t figure out” what was wrong I was rushed to alb med cause I couldn’t walk, and in the matter of hours dr German figured everything out and did my surgery right there. I’m 6 days post op and I’m walking in NO pain. I love this man! I have my life back thanks to him.
