Patient Reviews
Oct 08, 2024
I have been with him some 5 year. He has helped me the best he can due to all my problems. Four major surgeries, degenerative disc disease, chronic pain, arthritis. . . . . .and so many other problems. A person such as a doctor can only do so much. The patients must help too. He is a very supportive, caring person with much knowledge in his field and still continues his studies to instill more ways to help his patients. I continue to support him and his practice. I have had many procedures with him and his surgical staff and I can still function 90% in walking and in doing necessary chores and other duties daily, with miniminal pain.
