I was referred to the best in the nation and they were correct. I feel and believe that to be true.

This visit was quite unpleasant. There were 3 med professionals in the room with me at one point. It was a tiny room. Very uncomfortable. They seemed like they didn't even want to be there. Made me feel like I was wasting their time.

My care provider was of course knowledgeable and respectful, but I had to ask for clarification a few times because it felt like we started part-way through the diagnosis. He mentioned several spine procedures by their initialisms and I had to ask what they stood for and what those were. I am not a spine expert (yet). We moved quickly and I didn't feel able to take written notes so was trusting that the assistant was recording everything for me later and for my referring provider. He did answer all my questions and we were able to confirm a course of action.

Dr. Deviren has always been understanding with this next surgery he wants me and my husband to come back 30 before he schedules the surgery to go over how it's going to be done. I have always trusted him, and always will

Just didn't seem to be present at this meeting. Not typical.

Dr. Deviren was very professional but very kind and helpful. I knew he was the one to do my surgery.
