I had cervical surgery yesterday 03-10-21 and want t leave a review for my surgeon and his staff. From the first time I met Dr Van Pelt he has been nothing less than transparent with me. He don’t always tell you what you want to hear lol. but he will tell you the truth. I can appreciate a doctor that I can trust. He is an awesome surgeon. He is very thorough in his work. I HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking for someone to do your surgery. Also, I would be remiss to leave out his awesome nurse Kim T. I’m not a easy patient and I know I probably worked on her nerves with all the phone calls and questions. But, not one time did she make me feel like I was getting on her nerves or inconveniencing her. I want to say thank you guys, and I appreciate you guys for all of your help. Thank you!
