I was turned away without help he hadn’t even met me before passing me down to another doctor. We never even talked about the problem and he gave me recommendations for something else . And when I voiced my opinion all he said was he was gone pray for me.

Dr. Talbert was very professional and kind. He went over MRI and X-ray images with me and explained what they meant. He explained all of my treatment options and developed a plan for me. The office staff was also very professional!

I saw Dr Talbert today for a back problem and as in the past visits to his office, I was impressed with his staff and him as usual. Very informative and helpful. I would never see another doctor in the orthopedic field other than Dr Talbert!!!

Dr. Talbert and his staff were very kind and professional. He did an excellent job with my spinal surgery so I could get back to work and doing the things I love. I highly recommend him and the team at Southlake for any spinal surgery needs.
