Patient Reviews
Aug 07, 2024
From day one I was very impressed with Dr. Kast and each person that makes up his amazing team. I was very confident in each step it took to go from excruciating pain and muscle problems from my neck to my toes. They all listened and worked to try to fix my problems in the least invasive ways first. He is honest and tells you what is best for you. He doesn't want to do unnecessary surgery that could cause you more problems later. I appreciate that kind of doctor. He will do his best to help you. I had several problems he had to address one at a time. After a few months and procedures I have my life back. I am so thankful for this team.
