Patient Reviews
Dec 07, 2023
Was in hospital for a staff infection after a back surgery. My regular doctor there was out of town. He stepped up and helped me. Don’t remember much about the three week stay. But it seemed like the times I do remember he was always in the room. He did three surgeries in the three weeks time. He had to remove infection then remove all old hardware then he put in two ten inch rods and 24 screws. This was a 10 1/2 hr surgery on it’s on. Fused me from my pelvic bone to my second rib. I never dreamed after a year that I would feel as good as I do it’s amazing. His staff was always there for me. I’ve had doctors refuse to help me because I had so many back surgeries over the years but he never backed down. I have had 15 total now. Thank goodness for doctors like this. Wish there was more. I would not hesitate one minute to use him again.
