This fine surgeon has great bedside manner. Has understanding and patience for each and every patient. He operated on me when I was told there was no hope. 5 Doctors, had told me they wouldn't opperate, but a wheel chair, and a morphine pump they would do. I was 34 years old. This fine man operated and I had 25 years so far without pain meds, and I walk. I would recommend him to anyone who has problems. He sometimes gets backed up. But he takes time to explain every question you have. He's worth waiting to see. Remember, it could be you he spends a little more time with. Thank God for him everyday. I'm 59, and I do more then I could have ever done, before he fixed my back.
