operation on the cervical spine

I had an operation on the cervical spine in the neurosurgery clinic of Sana. My experience was positive. I am very grateful to the doctors for the extremely competent treatment. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

cervical spine surgery

The Department of Neurosurgery and the Chief Physician are truly amazing. I had cervical spine surgery and was reassured and distracted by the professional explanations and friendliness of everyone involved. The operation was quite successful, and I am sure that I will not have any problems in the future. Thanks to the entire department and to Jehovah for the blessings and peace he has given to all.

cervical spine surgery

The neurosurgeons are very friendly and competent, they explain everything in a friendly manner. I had an operation on the cervical spine for two herniated intervertebral discs. The woman at the neurosurgery registry was so unfriendly and unprofessional! The lady treats the patient like a fool. This is a shame for the reputation of NK!
