Within the guide lines of review questions there is a statement - "No person can be the "best" in all aspects. Completely 100% positive reviews are generally less informative or even suspect."
Well, I don't know about other Surgeon's, but as for my experience with Mr David Schroeder and his team, I had NO negative experiences. Infact, the opposite, my surgery experience with minimal discomfort, minimal pain and zero back pain.
