Very Professional., extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Paul explained my Xray in a way I could 100% understand. I consider myself extremely fortunate for him to be my Physician. Highly recommend. Also his PA was just as wonderful. They worked very well together to take care me.

Dr. Pahl fused my L-4 L-5 10 months ago. Best decision ever. I’m doing really good, resuming many of life’s activities that I had not been able to do for the last 5 years. He is the best!
