Dr, Curtin is a skilled surgeon and is very likable. I appreciate his care and his caution before recommending surgery. After a couple years of trying other options, L4-5 Laminectomy & Fusion surgery has enabled me to stand and walk distances again! I am very grateful, and I highly recommend him.

Dr Curtin and his team are great. He is rated as the TOP back surgeon in Tucson according to all of the medical personnel that I asked. I have confidence in him since he has successfully completed back surgery on my brother and my son. Although the prospect of surgery is scary, it's reassuring to know that I will be in such capable hands.

Dr. Curtin was prompt, very thorough, explained my condition well, and answered all my questions. I was pleased that he recommended a conservative treatment plan which did not include surgery.

Dr. Curtin should give a class on how a surgeon should treat his patients. There isn’t anybody better than this man. BEST EVER! And I am so much better physically after surgery.
