I can't say enough about this doctor & his team especially Michelle. She was absolutely amazing. From my first meeting to my last, Dr. Synder was the answer to my prayers & just about the ONLY Dr. I saw this yr (I saw a lot trying to find the right Dr) that had an admirable bedside manner. I've been dealing with arrogance in Dr's since 11 due to my autoimmune illness & now 26 so I'm pretty hard to please being I built a thought shell dealing with them & so many. My referring Drs first words to me was "make sure you have a comfortable relationship with your surgeon or find a new one." From beginning to end I was happy. After suffering from severe back pain for over a year & many many rub around with Drs, once the pain from post-surgery slowly came down & the effects of the purpose of the procedure kicked in, I can happily say my pain has subsided drastically & now with physical therapy, I'm finally optimistic about my future with little back pain. He did a superb job on my stitching. People actually say it's a nice scar!I read some reviews that say he is quick & arrogant etc. Please keep in mind, at the end of the day it's a business & he has a lot of people in pain like you that need help & he is only 1 human. Plus I enjoy the in & out with little to no wait time so I have more of my day. To me, he was excellent & I can't say enough. Indefinite recommendation. Thank you, Dr. Synder & team
