Patient Reviews
Jun 18, 2021
I am so grateful to have met Dr. Wohns. My back pain was excruciating & progressively worsening, I had to use a walker to get out of bed in the mornings, my activities were extremely limited. I met with Dr. Wohns who took all the time I needed to get my questions answered. He was extremely thorough with my preop workup before discussing my diagnoses & surgery with me. I was only in the hospital one night & had a very successful fast recovery. I am now pain free. Rarely even need Ibuprofen. I am so very grateful for Dr. Wohn's knowledge & expertise. I am back to enjoying life. Thank you Dr. Wohns & Kyle & the entire St. Francis staff!
