Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2024
Neurologist surgeon Dr. John Vender & his team are one of the best. I found myself lucky to have had Dr. Vender & his team to do my L5-S1 back surgery on 10.Oct.2023. I am doing extremely well, have no severe nerve pains anymore into my buttock & my legs. I still have lower back pains, but nothing compared to the severe nerve pains I suffered from before the surgery. I will always have some pains, because my whole spine is full of arthritis, but I can not thank Dr. Vender enough for doing such an excellent job. He is not only a great surgeon, he is also a great person. He goes beyond & above to help his patients. Every day for 4 days at the hospital he came and checked on me. What an amazing doctor. From day one I met him years ago, he was invested in my case, helped me & explained to me in every way what he can do for my pains and back issue. I can call him or email him at any time. Highly recommend him.
