Dr.Volkmer is a very caring physician I have never had such a great experience from the first appointment , to him personally calling me to make sure I understood what the results were from my MRI and he made sure to go over the best treatment plan and he made sure i also understood completely what the procedure would be from start to finish , then surgery day came and he came in talked to me made sure once again I knew what was going to happen and what to expect he made sure i was in a very good mindset . I TRULY appreciate everything and i highly recommend Dr.Volkmer .
