Mar 28, 2024
Amazing surgeon and a wonderful person. Very: professional, straight forward, understanding, thorough and hardworking. He comes to your child’s needs with a rested and thorough plan for treatment. He answers all questions and concerns, we’ve seen him since my son was around 3 and at 10 he performed his spinal fusion this past Monday. We’ve always felt we are in the best hands, with him.
