Dr. Paul is a gifted surgeon who has a top notch surgical team. His team is highly organized including his office personal. The entire team, from office staff to surgical team, give you the best care available anywhere. I had spinal fusion surgery which allowed me to be pain free with tremendous range of motion from the moment I was allowed out of bed. I strongly recommend anyone with serious back issues to see Dr. Paul for evaluation — it will be worth the time.

Dr. Paul performed spinal surgery on my husband about a year ago. Obviously, we were a bit nervous, but Dr. Paul and his staff were absolutely amazing! They walked us through every single part of the surgery, the individuals who would be in the room and their role and kept me updated the entire time. They took phenomenal care from beginning to end. My husband couldn’t believe the relief he felt the moment he woke up from surgery (which lasted after the pain meds). I would highly recommend his team to anyone!!

Dr. Paul, the Nursing Staff, the Anesthitists all devoted to making you whole again. The discectomy Dr. Paul performed on my back on Friday was instant relief. Walking without pain is a blessing.

Dr. Paul... I wanted to tell you that I’m feeling great. The back pain from my L-4, L-5 continues to be on a scale from 1-10, a 3! I now find myself realizing that after I get from point A to point B I don’t think so much about my back pain. Like you advised me, I’m not pain free, I never expected to be, but I’m a heck of a lot better now than I have been in years. The pain I have now I can live with. Thanks for taking care of me.
