Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Laminectomy at L3&4 and removal of cyst at L4
I had a laminectomy of L3&4 as well as removal of a cyst at L4. Surgery took about 2 hours and after I awoke I could walk without assistance or pain. Today is 6 weeks out and I have had no pain associated with the surgery and am able to lead a normal life. Dr Kelman and his team were excellent in all phases.

Dr. Kelman and his staff are first class when it comes to surgery and all aspects of health care. I had two disks replaced in my neck and could not be happier with the outcome. I have noticed no change in motion or any other changes in the ability to move. What has changed is my excruciating arm and neck pain are gone! Yesterday was my two week follow up appointment after surgery and also the day that my surgical tape was removed. I am truly amazed but there is NO scare where the incision was made on my neck!! Nobody would ever know that I had surgery. If you are having pain in you upper back, neck, shoulders, hands, or arms, along with headaches from the pain, I recommend Dr Kelman and staff, they can find and fix your problem and get you back to your normal life in no time at all. The speed of my recovery has been miraculous in my and other peoples eyes that I have talked with. I was up and walking same day of surgery and have been getting back to normal activities as allowed!
