Below are a few reviews from patients who shared their experiences online.
I was back to work within a few days of surgery after suffering with intense neck and back pain for 15 years. I wish I had done this a decade ago. Dr. Gerling was absolutely fantastic. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I am pain free. My surgery was literally life changing.
