I originally came to you because of severe neck pain. You performed a cervical neck fusion on me, and since then have been doing wonderfully. In addition, I was overweight and you told me about the Paleo diet, and I have since lost 45 lbs.

Your facilities are wonderful. I really enjoyed visiting your website prior to my surgery, because it was a wealth of information about what was going on with my body, what I could expect from you and the surgery. And it’s just been an overall wonderful experience for me. I would highly recommend anyone having orthopedic problems to come and see you, as you do a wonderful job.
