Wonderful doctor!! Very personable and friendly.
Very informative and honest about his concerns and thoughts I liked that he wasn't trying to push a surgery or procedure that was not guaranteed for more than 2 to 3 years .
Dr pahl and his entire staff (including operations staff and office staff were top notch. I had a lot of nervous questions and his fantastic pa and nurses took the time to explain things so ( I ) could understand and calm my nerves. It means a lot laddies and I thank you. Mike Wallace
I found him very personable and informative.
Very friendly and customer service oriented. Dr. Paul took the time to explain the reason behind the issues I was having.
Dr. Pahl is easy to talk to and explained surgery is is recommending in a way that I could understand.
Professional, knowledgeable, confident, personal. Dr. Pahl is attentive to the person and accountable to medical science. Mature in his speciality, his analytics combine textbook and experience. He’s a gem.
Dr Pahl has performed 2 neck surgeries on me. The 1st was in 2019 & the 2nd on Dec 31, 2024. Every doctor that has seen my x-rays compliments how impeccable his work is. I’m now fused from C2- T2 & I have fairly good mobility considering how fused I am. Dr Pahl is straight forward & very honest about what he needs to do & how things could be after surgery. He’s also a very caring doctor & takes his time with you. You will never leave with unanswered questions. His staff is also caring & will go the extra mile for you. I do want to say one thing about other reviews… Dr Pahl is a spinal surgeon. He’s not a pain management doctor or a medical doctor. He’s going to be direct with you on what he is able to do for you to make your life better. If you go in to see him you better be ready for whatever surgery he says you need. He’s very busy with patients in his care at the hospital & in the office. You may not like that but he is a WONDERFUL SURGEON & he’s made my life 100%better!!
Very courteous and explained everything thoroughly. I was very satisfied with my visit with him.
Awesome
