I am a professional singer and have been experiencing debilitating back pain for over 18 years due to my fear of having back surgery. Until just a few months ago when I met Dr Dirkx via Dr Spayde. I had reached the end. I had gained so much weight (which in my business is a huge no no!) so I became desperate and I decided To consult with Dr. Spayde ( Who is considered to be one of the best in the business although he is not in my Insurances network.) He is who let me to Dr. Ben Dirkx who Miraculously and almost completely healed my with a 15 minute our patient procedure. I can not thank him enough. He is attentive, friendly, a great listener, patient, treats his assistance with respect ( which I value greatly) and is an outstanding medical professional who knows what he is doing. I am so grateful for his astuteness because my quality of life has literally gone from 30% to 95%. I am so elated that I sent him the following note: Hey Dr D! This is your patient Carmen Carter. I hate to bother you at home but I have to give you a praise report. My back has been feeling so great! I discovered that the swelling in my ankles and discomfort/tightness in my right knee was coming from me eating to much sodium via processed meats. I'm back to walking 5 miles/day. I've lost about 19 Ibs because of your recommendation for the refractory procedure and excellent work ( woohooo🔥🔥🔥) and thought you could use the hearty pat on the back I'm sending your way today! I sincerely thank you for your excellence and pray that you and your family experience a wonderful holiday season🤩 With all that being said, I highly recommend Dr Ben Dirkx! He seriously changed my life.
