Patient Reviews
Aug 21, 2024
Dr. Bess did a acdf 4 levels in my neck. Surgery went great had a setback in recovery which has all but healed. Dr. Bess checked on me personally 5 tines a week. The P.A.s checked on me as well. A truly compassionate surgeon that listens and answered everything I asked of him. His office staff are overall excellent. I'd recommend a different way of handling calls but I also have no idea how many incoming calls they get. I'd go there again without hesitation.
