I was so impressed with Dr. Metz. He understood and explained to me exactly what is happening with the Harrington rod in my back. He wants to see the CT Scan and MRI before we speak again about the next steps. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness before rushing into surgery. I feel very confident about the care Dr. Metz is giving me.

Dr Metz was fine, it just seemed that he hadn't had a chance to really look through my tests and history before coming in, and I was aware that he was rushed (and I was a bit beaten down by the 2 hour wait). I am hopeful that my next appointment with him will be more relaxed and informed. He seems thoughtful and nice.

Always a positive experience with Dr. Metz. I have been a patient of his for about 4 years. I've had previous neck surgery which was very successful. I may be looking to have back surgery & Dr. Metz is the Doctor I trust to take care of my current issue.
