Dr. Larson is very nice and very personable. He’s there for you.
He explained everything to my wife and I on what is going on with my back and what what i can have done with my back to help with the pain.
Dr. Larson not only listened to my concerns he heard me! Having worked in the medical field I have never experienced a person more qualified to be a surgeon. Not only with exceptional educational background and knowledge, kindness and compassion as well!
Great explanations were provided about back surgery.
Dr. Larson was running late but apologized. He is a good listener and provides a patient directed visit. I appreciate that.
18 months ago this person changed my life. I haven't always appreciated him or this long, painful process and he knows it. 😂 Dr. Evan Larson 😊 thank you again for doing your utmost caring for me and my back. Not all physicians take their time to listen, encourage and be willing to take a selfie with me! 😁 God bless you! #spinalsurgerysurvivor #ɢᴏᴅɪsɢᴏᴏᴅ #keepsmiling
