I have had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Holt for 20+ years. I can still remember the first visit when he said "Ms..........we are going to be married for a long time" He was not kidding. I recently had the 5th procedure needed by Dr. Holt and I must say, I respect this doctor and appreciate his ability. Back when I was in my early 40's he gave me the use of my left leg back. I travel 2 1/2 hours one way to see him. I would not go to anyone else but Dr. Holt for problems w/spine. Yes, I agree that he has unusual bedside manner but he is straight and to the point and I like that. He explains what is wrong and what he's going to do. He goes over alternatives as well. He speaks to me at least as if I have a brain. I can appreciate it and feel that I proactive in my own health care. Too many do not take the advice of their doctors after a procedure. I have found that if you follow the advice of Dr. Holt you will be glad you did. THANK YOU DR. HOLT. read more
