I would 100% recommend Dr Spann and the entire team. We talked a great length about my unique situation and my husband attending this meeting and Dr Spann insured the my husband understood all that was to be expected over the surgery and aftercare. We felt very knowledgeable and calm when we left.

Again, words can't convey how wonderful it is to have a doctor listen to me. He had already reviewed my case. Not just outside the door before walking in, but really reviewed, spoke with Dr. Patel and then listened with empathy and patience while I explained everything I have tried and been through for the last few years.
