Thorough and professional
Dr Pahl was very kind and friendly. Look forward to his help and guidance.
I have seen the results of Dr. Pahl's work for years because I am a United Methodist minister who had many parishioners on whom he operated. He clearly excels at what he does, as I have never seen a bad result. That's why I felt so confident in making my appointment with him.
The best back doctor
Dr. Pahl is amazing. He explains everything thoroughly and makes you feel very comfortable.
Well satisfied
He was in too big a hurry! Also, very depressed he's sending me to Emory, all the way to Decatur. Says he's not knowledgeable or qualified for surgery I need!! Thought they all were Orthopedic surgeons & knew their jobs. Very disappointed! It's like he just PAWNED me off. Can't have had much training.
This doctor was amazing! He listened to all my concerns and was compassionate to my concerns. I would give him a 10/10 and would definitely recommend him!
Dr. Pahl is very patient friendly. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and explains conditions in an understandable manner. He is an excellent physician.
