I wasn’t ready so I had numerous blocks, ablations, injections and nothing worked. It progressed and I had some atrophy and nerve damage from waiting.

Dr Kristof has performed surgery on my lumbar spine 5 years ago(2015) at Flower Hospital and a cervical spine fusion in September 2020.

Let me start by saying Dr. Kristof and his staff are extraordinary. I was experiencing pain in both legs associated with a lower back issue.

Dr. Kristof has a very engaging personality which makes me feel at ease asking questions. He explains the problem and the best way to solve it very clear. He will give you as much time as you need to feel confident about your path forward before you leave. I had back surgery in February and I have had 2 more appointments with him that went very well. I am recovering well.

I recommend Dr. Kristof for Back issues to all my friends and family members. Dr. Kristof reviewed my case and scheduled my surgery quickly to repair my back problems. I was almost unable to walk upon my first visit and after surgery was able to walk without pain within 6 hours after surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Kristof for back problems.

Dr Kristof performed an excellent spinal surgery on me... He was able to diagnose my spinal issue quickly and help me heal. He is very kind and professional... I am recommending him without hesitation to anyone who is in need of treatment for their spine. He is very wise and yet he remains Humble. Thank you Dr Kristof for giving me my life back without pain in it.
