The overall experience was excellent, so this is just a suggestion. I might have benefited by a larger discussion of options and risks.

DR Tan is very informative and shows compassion when you explain your situation and problems you're having. I would definitely recommend him and I always talk to family and friends about how good he is.

From start to finish, I felt so well cared for! Dr. Tan and Dr. Buckley are such excellent surgeons! There were no surprises, everything was explained clearly, and my surgery went smoothly and my fusion was successful because of their skill and knowledge! I am truly grateful that I was under their care!
