Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2020
I was having severe pain in my upper back and my neck. Dr. Gaufin was very thorough by ordering x-rays, CT scans, and a MRI. Recently had surgery, and my pain is mostly gone, as I am still recovering from the surgery. Explains things in my terms, shows you the images, and lets you ask any question about your surgery, so you understand everything. He is excellent.
