STEVE KLAFETA, MD - TRINITY HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP, NEUROSURGERY REVIEWS
When we first met Dr. Steven Klafeta it quickly became obvious that he was listening to my husband talk. He asked important questions and waited patiently for the answer. He summarized my husband's health situation, gave his reccommendations and what he believed would be the result if we choose to go with him as my husbands surgeon. He had come highly reccommended by our pain specialist, Dr. Thomas Basch, and another patient who had undergone surgery with Dr. K. years earlier. We did ask him to do the surgery, and on Feb. 2, 2018 the surgery was performed. I am happy to say we are very pleased with Dr. Klafeta's expertise, he did an excellent job on my husband's back, and his team continues to stay in contact with us as my husband begins the journey back to health. His nurse, Becki, has always been available for our questions and concerns, she has always treated us with kindness and compassion. I believe his entire team is on board with his treatment plans and would reccommend him and his team to anyone who needs spinal surgery. Signed, Peri S.

JURGEN LUDERS, MD - TRINITY HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP REVIEWS
Dr Luders started my visit by telling me he doesn’t prescribe pain meds and isn’t there to help me get disability, he’s there to FIX the problem. He repaired what another surgeon had done with a fusion at L4-L5 & 18 yrs later it’s still working great.If you genuinely want healing, he’s your guy. If you are significantly overweight you’ll have to lose some weight and if you’re a smoker like I was you’ll have to quit. Dr Luders will give you the best chance at repairing your spine but you have to help yourself as well.He was also very good at patiently explaining everything to my husband to make sure he completely understood. Following my surgery, he was doing rounds with a group of doctors and they were debating something about my drain tube but I was impressed with how he did not talk down to the other docs. He is an incredibly intelligent Neurosurgeon and is one of the best in his field. He has every right-opportunity to be curt but he isn’t. His staff is amazing as well.
I had a spinal fusion with a cage and rods and screws (L5/S1) in 2013, and I have been very pleased with the results of Dr. Luders & Dr. Hedeman's surgery. I have recommended them to others.
I have hydrocephalus. Dr Luders and therapists at MFB gave me my life back. Dr Luders literally save my life!
