I had back and leg pain so bad I could not function. After getting the back hardware put in, I am back on track to a normal active life.

I am extremely happy with Dr. Balturshot's successful back surgery on me. The pain I endured for so long is gone. My life has real quality again. I cannot begin to express the satisfaction I have for this surgeon's treatment. My family is extremely happy that I am able to function with them and my grandchildren. Thank you Dr. Balturshot - you returned the quality to my life!

The back surgery has helped me so much. I am able to walk without pain shooting down my legs. I can walk up the stairs without pain and sleeping better. Thanks so much. Also, everyone that has helped me has been so nice and helpful.

Dr. Balturshot gave me my life back! I have had scoliosis all my life. as it progressed in my later years of life, I could hardly walk any distance. the surgery was very successful. I am walking a mile a day, just 5 weeks after surgery. Praise God

EXCELLENT & METICULOUS NEUROSURGEON Dr B has done 3 spinal surgeries on me & 1 on my husband last week. I am in the healthcare field & myself, and every RN and doctor I know, RECOMMENDS him 1000%. He has literally changed my life. I have multiple problems with my spine and know future surgeries may happen but Dr B is the ONLY doc I will let touch me or any family member. He IS very straight to the point but don?t be put off by this. He will tell you if he feels surgery is not right. He?s honest. He doesn?t care about making a fast buck by performing any surgery just for the $$ like most orthopedic surgeons I know will do. I?ve gotten to know him over the years & get along great with him. He does talk very fast but just stop him & ask questions if you don?t understand. He WILL explain things to you kindly. In all honesty, would you like a super friendly doc who is horrible at surgery but sits & talks to you bedside or a PHENOMENAL doc who tells it like it is & fixes you? I choose… Balturshot above all-Magic Man :) SherriDal - March 12, 2023

Dr. Balturshot did surgery on my spine to correct the pain I have suffered with for many years. He put rods in with screws and got rid of the spurs on my spine. When I woke up from surgery the pain I had on the left side of my body was completely gone. Dr. Balturshot helped me so much with my surgery.
