Dr Tresser is an outstanding neurosurgeon. He’s done 3 surgeries on different levels of my back in the past 10 years with outstanding results. There is no one else I’d trust my spine to other than him. Amazing surgeon and very caring and kind individual. He’s the best of the best! You will NOT regret allowing him to treat you.

Dr Tresser did a double cervical fusion on my neck in May of 2024 and it turn out great. I am back for my stenosis in my L4 and L5 Lumbar and will have all confidence in Dr Tresser performing a Laminectomy to relieve my arthritis built up in my nerve canal. Dr Tresser has been straight forward and truthful in his diagnosis and recommendations. I would highly recommend him.

I really have not 1 bad thing to say, he has been outstanding, and sometimes he may seems a little brass, but, I love it, you do not want a soft doctor working on you, and wait times are not bad at all. He really is 1 of the better Surgeons out there,

I went to three surgeons before choosing Dr Tresser for my neck fusion for two disc replacements.. The results were exactly what Dr Tresser predicted.. no more pain or numbness or discomfort.. and still had excellent rotation limits for my Physical Therapy sessions.. Dr Tresser is straight forward with his diagnosis and his experience testifies with the results.. I would highly recommend Dr Tresser to anyone seeking neurosurgery..
