Patient Reviews
Jan 03, 2024
Dr. Vangilder performed a 3-level spinal fusion C3-C6 in 2017 for me. Dr. Vangilder reassured me that I would be okay and my pain and discomfort from my ruptured discs would be gone after my surgery. After several weeks and months of healing, the pain was gone. Dr. Vangilder performed an excellent surgery and helped relieve my horrific symptoms of pain, numbness, and falling down. I strongly and highly recommend Dr. Vangilder because he provides no fluff information; just the facts straight-up. Pure honesty. Dr. Vangilder is an excellent neorsurgeon and I would go back to him for any spinal surgery, there aren't enough great words to describe Dr. Vangilder other than he's an excellent-superb surgeon that I highly recommend. Thank you, Dr. Vangilder for all you have done for me. Warm regards,Mamie Carter
