Simply the best from start to finish. Covers all issues of your treatment plan with professionalism and empathy. Never feel like you're being rushed in and out. Takes time to make sure you understand your diagnosis and whether surgery or a more conservative treatment is needed.

Staff are personable, caring, interested in your situation and how you are doing. Dr. Dorenkamp is excellent to work with, easy to ask questions of and responsive to your concerns. Surgery was 3 months ago, intense pain is gone, now in recovery pain from nerves having been pinched 4 years! 12-18 months for full recovery, but very happy with the progress after 3 months! Highly recommend Dr. Dorenkamp, his staff and the office, excellent people!
