GREGORY M. OETTING, MD, FACS REVIEWS

My son fell and was paralyzed from his neck down to his feet due to a fall while exercising. Dr Oetting discovered the problem after all other tests had been run. Dr Oetting performed cervical spin surgery and restored all feelings back. Dr Oetting also performed cervical spin surgery on me as well "TWICE" with success.

Thank you Dr Oetting and your team for taking care of me from the beginning to the end of my surgery.

Dr. Oetting performed lumbar fusion on two levels on my spine. His attention to detail is unmatched. He is easy to talk with and I highly recommend him.

J. MARC GUITTON, MD REVIEWS

Dr Guitton made me feel I had finally found a doctor to help me. He was strait up with me that he does not see how any surgery would help what's going on with my back. I have major scoliosis in my upper back and some in my neck. I have disc hitting nerves in my lower back. A lot of arthritis going on in my back because if this and pain shooting down my leg from the nerves being scrunched from disc. He told me to move on with Pain Management to see if their procedures will help me. Now all I can do is try to manage the pain. He was willing to hear anything I had to say about how this is affecting me. I am lucky to have been sent to him. I have been to his office only twice and to Pain Management once. They are located together in the same building and that is convenient for me and for them because they are working together to take care of their patients.

Dr Guitton is top notch. I really appreciate his insight and honesty. He gives you all the information to make the best decision for your situation.

Dr. Guitton is an excellent doctor. I truly recommend him as a surgeon. He is kind. He listens, and he doesn't rush things as he wants what's best for you.

FERNANDO L. VALE, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Vale is our hero ! He is one the best dedicated doctors who has heart and sole. He spends time and listens to your thoughts and explain all your questions. He is humble and brilliant! Dr. Vale did a brain surgery 3 years back with 100% success for my 16 year old son.

Excellent, beyond words, did what we thought was undoable, removed a brain tumor style and grace. Excellent personality coupled with amazing skills. Can’t beat that. Thank you Dr Vale for taking care of my sister Cynthia.

Dr. Vale, He's extraordinary doctor, understanding, caring and compassionated. He gives his personal time to answer my questions. As a patient, I felt the privilege to be his patient.
