Patient Reviews
Feb 05, 2025
Just had my second surgery in the last year performed by Dr. McGovern and his team. First was a cervical and just recently my lumbar just yesterday. The doctor is very professional and personable and takes the time to listen and explain things easily understood. It has become difficult to find the quality of care I was provided.
