Dr. Dean asked questions, listened to my concerns and offered his opinion and recommended a specific treatment to help with pain and improved mobility to possibly delay surgery which is my concern.

Thank you Dr. Dean for such good care and explaining my condition to me and giving me the care that is needed to move me forward I really appreciate you! You are a very caring compassion doctor and I thank God for having you as my doctor at this time when my condition is not the best at this time you are a God sent. When I came in for my condition I was in very bad shape and you took my condition very serious and made sure that I went to the next level of visiting a spine specialist to make sure my health concern was in the best hand for that condition that I am dealing with and other condition that you are treating me for. I really appreciate your thank you so much for explaining everything to me and taking the time to listen to what I had to say and answering any question that I am concerned about over my health situation and giving me a peace of mind when I left my appointment knowing that they are hope and I am grateful for that. I just want to say I know I have a journey to continued to go through at this time, overall I am very grateful to have you as my doctor as I move forward with my treatment that is needed, I am so grateful
