Patient Reviews
Jun 08, 2023
Dr. Pearce has performed multiple spine surgeries on me, and I am walking up right and have no more pain. He is a conservative surgeon, so don't expect a quick fix. My lumbar spine has had every level fused (over 20 years) plus 2 cervical fusions. A condition I inherited from my father. I worked full time the entire time Dr. Pearce was fixing my back. I trust him so much that he has also had to do a cervical fusion on my son! That is trust.
