Patient Reviews
Mar 17, 2021
She is an amazing surgeon. With COVID my surgery originally got canceled and then rescheduled at the last minute. I was completely terrified for this surgery because it has been my biggest fear since I was diagnosed at age 11. I am 17 now and she did amazing with my surgery. I was admitted to the hospital on Monday February 1st, 2021 and was discharged on Wednesday February 3rd,2021. I have been recovering very quickly. After my 3 week check up I wasn’t taking any pain pills and wasn’t in much pain at all and was able to return to work and start driving again. My curves also went from 70° on the top and 56° on the bottom down to 15° on the top and 25° on the bottom. The bottom still even has the chance to correct more. But she is absolutely amazing and super nice and caring to all her patients and truly does an amazing job. I am so glad she was my surgeon.
