“Doctor Hanson has been outstanding. He performed knee replacement on me and handled the complications professionally. I was impressed when my wife was at the Surgical Center having surgery by Doctor Huff. Doctor Hanson was in the building and made the effort to seek us out and check on both of us. He made an effort to show kindness and concern. In today's world of constant pressure to perform and productivity with regard to profitability, he stepped out and showed humanity. if you are looking for great bedside manor, this is the practice to use. ”

“Dr. Miao came highly recommended by a medical professional who has worked with him for many years. My surgery was challenging and I am truly feel that he is the only doctor in town that could have performed the surgery successfully. During my one week follow-up visit, he explained in great detail the magnitude of repairs needed/successfully performed. Thus far, I am extremely satisfied with my progress and look forward to my upcoming 5 week post surgical visit with him. ”

“Dr. Dunn is one amazing doctor he always makes the time to answer all my questions with a genuine concern. I never feel rushed and I just love his staff Stephanie and Rich are just as caring! Last year he did my C6-7 now I have issues with my L4-5after my experience last year there is no one Doctor or staff I trust more then Dr. Dunn, Stephanie and Rich his PA to take better care of me then that staff! You can't even see the scar from my first surgery last year. Anytime that someone tells me they have any back issues I am always referring them to Dr. Dunn. Healthcare in Vegas is seriously lacking good providers and so is bedside manner so for that alone I say thank you Dr. Dunn and staff for rising above and remembering what it is to be a patient!!”

“When I went to see him, my pain management doctor was talking about putting a stimulator in my spine after getting my films back it turned to something way more serious I was having a lot of pain, but having 3 previous surgeries I figured this was what I was left to live with. Dr. Perry literally changed my life, he agreed to see me and told me what was going on back there and made me believe he could not only fix it I would be better off for it. I had been told that before and it never went that way. I have the surgery, recovery time was so much shorter and easier than before. I had had hardware put in my back before and I could always feel the weather change and got stiff. I can do so much more than before I walk more I don't have any right hip pain I am off all pain meds after 20+ years on them it was amazing. I have a much better life since the surgery and it is not giving me the pain, any pain I have now is no big deal comparatively,, and being off the meds amazing. Dr. Perry is my hero.”

“Dr. Dunn is just one of the best doctors I have ever been too. He was patient, kind and caring. He took all the time I needed to make sure that I understood what was going on with my condition as well as all my options. I am in the people business and I highly recommend him to my clients at work. Some people already know what an amazing doctor he is. I barely have a scar from the surgery I even forget that I have one on my throat, as his work was flawless, even within a month of surgery people couldn't tell unless I pointed it out. Doctors don't seem to have that bedside manner anymore, however Dr. Dunn is the rare ones that seems to remember to put the patient first. And when your in a bunch a pain, that means the world!”

“Once again Dr. Baldauf has done an excellent job with another knee replacement for me. His concern and commitment to me as a patient is worth noting, and he prepares himself as fully as possible for whatever he may encounter once surgery begins. In my case he didn't have the easiest time with either of my knee surgeries because of unusual circumstance in each case, but he rose to the occasion both times and I am walking well for the first time in many, many years. I would recommend Dr. Baldauf and his team without hesitation. I can only imagine what kind of success he'd have when faced with an uncomplicated surgery! Thanks again for your great care Dr. Baldauf!! ”

“My partial knee replacement allows me to return to the tennis courts and play golf without the pain I've experienced for many years. The procedure was out-patient and I was walking on my own within a few days. Minimal physical therapy was required and after a year. I'm still pain free.”

“I have been coming to see Dr. Dunn from California since 2002, from an awful accident. He fixed my spine surgery that I had done in Los Angeles, at Cedar Sinai. Since then, unfortunately I have had seven more accidents, none of them my fault. I would not trust any other spine surgeon with my back. Dr. Dunn has been an absolute blessing for me, and my family. ”
