I just have to let Dr. Vater know I am so very thankful that I did my homework and decided to put my faith in Dr. Vater. He did an amazing work with my surgery. I had an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and corpectomy. Its been 7 weeks post op and I will still be in the aspen collar for a total of 12 weeks. My cage and plate on the xray looks so perfectly aligned. He has amazing orthopedic skills!! I highly recommend Dr. Vater. Our deepest felt Thank you so very much!!!!
