    Let me start by saying he is incredibly nice. He seemed to care about my situation therefore I…read moretrusted him never doubting him. He performed 2 back surgeries on me on November 2020. I had a herniated disk. The herniation returned so I went back to surgery. The pain I endured for 3 months is something indescribable. I would visit his office every 2 to 3 weeks complaining of pain. He would quickly dismiss my pain by being "normal". Except no pain is normal. Pain is the bodies way of telling you something is wrong. Back in January of 2021 I experienced more complications. From having a mass on my incision that exploded causing yellow fluid to come out of my back. In which he said it was normal and giving me antibiotics in case I had an infection. That same week both of my knees down to my feet were swollen, red and hot. I also had that on both of my arms down towards my hands. I went to his office again which again he dismissed. Stating if it was an infection in my joints I wouldn't be walking anymore. Well I wasn't I couldn't even stand up for him to check my incision. He sent me home telling me to continue drinking my antibiotics and ibuprofen for the pain. The pain was excruciating! I couldn't get out of bed at that point. When I would get up I would do it screaming in agony. I traumatized my neighbors as well as my family. The ambulance had to come and get me. I had to be airlifted to Standford hospital because Watsonville Hospital couldn't do anything for me. The infection was incredibly sever and rare. I had an emergency surgery that same day I was airlifted and had to be in bed for 5 days since my spine was weak. I ended up having 3 surgeries at Stanford. They saved my life. I can happily say I am PAIN FREE! I had to re learn to walk by myself without relying on a walker. The trauma I have endured is huge. This is why I'm writing this review. I read all the great reviews on him therefore I trusted him with my spine. Also because he was nice. Yet dismissing your patients pain and just seeing them for a quick couple of minutes is in my opinion incredibly unprofessional. I ask people to do their research especially when having BACK SURGERY! I don't wish this pain upon anyone. Since he was nice I trusted him. I made excuses for him. That he was the doctor he studied for this so he should know. Well turns out I should have listened to myself to my gut. I am lucky to be walking. I am lucky to be alive. I always had trust issues with doctors but now more than ever. People listen to your body TRUST YOUR BODY. Don't allow someone to tell your pain is natural when it truly isn't. NO PAIN IS NATURAL!

    I can't speak for his surgical skill, but I can say that I was referred to him for my scoliosis…read morethat is 45 degrees. Although there was a short wait, it was so worth it in terms of bedside manner and just.... IDk, I left feeling like I had just spoken with a very competent & experienced doctor. He didn't sugar coat anything, and made me feel at least a little more hopeful about the future. I don't think I'm going to have surgery yet, but If/when I do, I'd definitely trust this doctor with my life, literally!
