Tom
Doctor K was amazing!
He’s an incredibly skilled surgeon. He looked at all my images and made the best decision for me. I got the best, cutting-edge technology and equipment. I see fusions and disk replacements other people have and when I show them mine they are always envious. If you ever need disk replacement surgery THIS is the guy to call.
Matthew
The staff took the time to understand my issues and history in detail
Dr. K showed professionalism and expertise in his recommendations. Very glad that he recommended a more conservative course of treatment instead of suggesting surgery, which is the more lucrative option for him and his clinic. This shows integrity, which I sincerely appreciate.
Lisa
I love that he does 3D imaging
DOC. K is amazing. I love that he does 3D imaging. I did not have any narcotics at all. Anyone needing back fusion go here they tailor fit the plates and screws. Knowing everyone is different he is the only Doctor to do this kind of surgery.
Beth
I highly recommend him
He gave me the information I needed. He is all about what’s best for the patient. Didn’t push surgery because he didn’t feel it was best for me.
James
Go see Dr. K!!!
Dr. K is amazing and I noticed immediately how my neck no longer cracks, pops, or grinds. I’m ecstatic! Do you have a neck problem?
Adam
I would trust him with anything.
I have had two surgeries performed by Dr. K. The first a disc replacement and the second a lumbar fusion. Both were wonderfully successful. Dr. K and his staff are incredible. Dr. K will take all the time you need to explain the procedure and answer your questions. Dr. K is an incredible surgeon with an incredible bedside manner.
The Benefits of
• • •
The Disc Replacement Center
When compared to conventional spinal fusion surgery, artificial disc replacement surgery in the neck or back provides many benefits:
Offers a faster recovery
so patients can return to activities sooner.
Prevents degeneration
of discs above and/or below the affected disc(s)
Preserves range of motion
for a more natural feeling in the neck or back
Why Artificial Disc Replacement?
• • •
“Historically, most cervical surgeries result in fusion, which provides pain relief, but at a cost of loss of motion and higher risk of additional future surgeries. Recent clinical studies have shown that 4 years after cervical fusion, the risk of adjacent level degeneration is increased by nearly three-fold compared to disc replacement.
The Disc Replacement Center at Jordan Valley Medical Center offers an alternative artificial disc replacement, which provides pain relief and preserves motion and function.’
