My First meeting with Dr. Harper today left me very impressed. He had read my history and was very aware of the issues going on with my lo er back pain . He outlined his thoughts and we talked about a new plan of action in a different way so I’m very ready to go that route and hope for much more pain relief. Fingers crossed to keep from major surgery also . Thank you Dr. Harper .
