I have seen Dr Vess for a couple of years now and he has performed several surgeries on my cervical and lumbar spine. I have found him to be very professional and attentive to my problems and questions. The only thing I would advise other patients of, is to know as much about what is happening with your problem as you can so you can ask the right questions. Dr Vess does not waste a lot time during appointments with conversation. Unless you have questions, he’s kind of a, how’s everything going and okay we’ll see you at whatever your next appointment will be, kind of guy.

Dr Vess listened to about my problems and didn’t rush me. He answered all my questions , gave me opinions. He didn’t push me into anything I wasn’t comfortable with. He will be my choice if I need further care.

I really think that he was very concerned about my problems with my legs, and wants to get to the bottom of my pain…
