Dr. Harper got me from only being able to crawl on the floor with searing back pain, to be able to run, bike and swim again in 3 months. He explained everything before surgery perfectly and was rejoicing in my successful recovery as much as I was!!! Love, love , love him and appreciate him so much. Obviously highly recommended!!! He is brilliant, compassionate, and an all around fabulous surgeon! Thank you Dr. Harper for giving me my body back!
