Review for Dr. Neely
Dr Haft was a very good communicator and reassuring. He told me exactly how he was going to fix my back, buttocks and left leg pain. My results were just as he said it would be. I am 73 years old partially handicapped, so the pain limited me to a cane or walker. After the surgery I am pain free...
