Went into the hospital on May 30,2020 to have my shunt, which Dr. Silvers had put in 10 yrs. ago, repaired after the tubing had broken. While Dr. Silvers had to only cut 4 inches of my hair to put it in, Dr. Ronton had to SHAVE my whole head (with hair past my shoulder) just to repair the tubing. UNCALLED FOR.

Operation was in 2001. It is now 2017 and I still feel fine. I just know my limits on what I can and cannot do..

The wait time to get a appointment is not good, at all, all other things are exceptionally high.

I had 2 previous discectomies on lumbar 2 which failed. I contacted Dr. Rhoton about my condition ( I could only walk with the aid of a walker) and he saw me within 2 days, surgery was scheduled for about 3 days later, and now, exactly 1 year from a a very complicated fusion surgery, my back is like new. Thank you Dr. Rhoton for a sensational result.
