He RUINED my life. After 7 years significant pain. Morphine pump does little good. He was unsure of his qualifications on my large bulging L2 L3. He left me I severe pain for 6 Weeks before botching up my back. Told me I was in the top 1% of his patients. Yes, the top 1 for Failed Back Surgery.
This review is not a false accusation.

This Doc ruined my life with L2 L3 surgery he waited too long and now a damaged nerve.
After 6 yrs and countless procedures to resolve my pain I live 24/7 pain.
Hope you have good Insurance to help relieve your pain. I am in no way being dishonest with this post. Beware. He said I was in the top 1% of his patients. Then left town shortly after.

36 years of back pain relieved after lumbar fusion. Really appreciated he answered my questions with what “research has shown us” and treated my condition accordingly. Other than the PA and surgery scheduler- staff seems bored to be there. Didn’t get to meet other Drs involved in my surgery till shortly before my surgery and one wasn’t on my plan and threatened to send me to collections if I didnt pay her outrageous, unagreed upon out of network fee. Most of the paperwork only has Valente’s name on it- needs updated.
