On the recommendation of a friend who had surgery with Dr. Alzate, I decided to seek help from him. I can’t thank him enough for the excellent job he did with my cervical disk replacement surgery. After months of suffering in agonizing pain in my neck, shoulder/trap area, and arm, multiple injections in my neck by another doctor, weeks of PT, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and a finally a trip to the ER, Dr. Alzate was able to replace the disk in my neck and the pain in my arm/shoulder/trap was immediately gone post-op. He is a very compassionate and skilled surgeon and took his time to thoroughly explain all my options with regards to my procedure. I never felt rushed or pressured by him or his staff. His staff was very helpful and accommodating with regards to my hectic travel schedule. Five stars is not enough, if I could give him ten I would!!
