I had surgery with Dr. P in April 2018. I saw several neurosurgeons and one even told me my back was too complicated for him!!! I was shattered but did appreciate his honesty. I told him I had an appt to see Dr. P and the surgeon told me Dr. P was the best in their field and he felt confident Dr. P would be able to handle my complicated back. He did and today a little over 18 months later I have NO back pain at all. My 1st appt I wasn't able to without a walker. Dr. P looked me directly in the eye, shook my hand and told me he could fix my back but I would have to follow his instructions to the letter. I did and he was so right. I would recommend him to my sons...he it THAT good. He's very matter of fact and to the point and will be totally honest. While some have thought he is rude, I didn't find that to be true at all. He's just honest and to the point. He is an exceptional surgeon that's recommended by his peers. It doesn't get better than that! More than happy with my surgery!

Dr. P is a doctor who listens and explains things and truly cares for his patients. My family and I read the reviews on him not only as a surgeon but as someone with great bedside manner. He did an amazing job on my surgery and I have healed incredibly. My family and I pray for his continuing success in helping others for years to come.

He installed an adjustable shunt and placed the valve in the wrong location. It was also adjustable and was adjusted wrong for over 1 year with Dr p. Refusing to check it leading to an year of suffering due to his prideful nature.

Dr. P and staff are really great. They are friendly, courteous and professional. Some of the non-medical office staff could use some improvements but overall a great practice.

Never heard of SI JOINT FUSION until I had it done. I just wish I had it done 10 years ago. Good doctor to talk to so he understands what you need.
