Dr. Jenkins tried to avoid surgery. When it was apparent that I was going to need surgery, he asked if I was prepared. He said give me a few minutes. He stepped out of the room and was gone for a little while. His assistant came back in with my plan of surgery schedule. Very thorough and very professional. Always very punctual. I loved the fact that he prayed with me before the surgery. Today’s visit was my 3 month checkup and everything was great. I would recommend Dr. Jenkins to anyone needing back surgery.

This was my first time seeing Dr. Jenkins and he actually sat down and talked to me and listened to all my symptoms. I wasn’t rushed at all. He answered all my questions too. This doesn’t happen often in Healthcare now days.

I had my 6 week checkup today and seeing Dr Jenkins today made me proud that I could walk up and down the hall. I still thank God for leading me to him. I wont ever forget when he knelt beside me and prayed before surgery my fears were removed thank you
