Think we've got a good, solid plan for my treatment and I really appreciate Dr. Vess and the entire team!

Came into the room with a PA in training. He moved quickly, compared my xray to other patients my age, stating i was in good shape, undermining my pain. He lacked empathy, bed side manner and made me feel not heard. He was in and out of the room in less than 8 minutes for a consult. I'm definitely getting a second opinion.

Dr. Vess is professional and still personal. He may be young, but he’s confident. We all started somewhere. He listens and remembers. He diagnosed my condition and performed surgery. Before surgery, I could not stand very long or walk far without both legs going completely numb. It’s been two weeks since surgery, I have been able to walk my yard and Walmart without numbness. I still have surgical pain because I'm still healing, but I’m ecstatic with the change.
