Patient and understanding. Encouraging.
A bit turse and egotistical. I would have appreciated more empathy and better bedside manner.
Appreciate Dr. Hicks encouragement and in depth discussion of imaging, symptoms and remedy options.
A very caring and an excellent surgeon, I'm so happythat the pain is almost completely gone. Mega thanks to Dr. Hicks and his staff.
Needed a summary/ review. Takes me more time to absorb details.
Did an outstanding job. I'm 8 weeks postblumbar surgery and my back feels 15 years younger. Would highly recommend Dr. Hicks if you need lumbar surgery
