Patient Reviews
Oct 21, 2020
Five years ago, Dr. Taghva saved my life by performing an intensive 8 hour surgery to stabilize my spine after multiple myeloma had eaten away my T9 vertebrae. I am forever grateful to him! Such a great doctor/surgeon. He is so amazing, smart, friendly, and very easy to talk to. Thanks you, Dr. T!!
