When our 24yo autistic son started walking like he was clearly in pain but wasn't able to communicate what the problem was, God looked down upon us and sent us to Dr. Birk.His calm, confident and friendly demeanor from our very first visit put our minds at ease knowing that we made the right choice. He knew exactly what the problem was with our son's back and knew how to fix it.The surgery went exactly as planned and our son was walking normally within days (if not hours) of the minimally invasive surgery.Although he isn't able to say the words, the way our boy's face lights up when he sees Dr. Birk at our follow up visits says it all. Spiderman is our son's favorite superhero in the movies, but in real life, Dr. Birk holds that title!
