I had a long history of back issues – 50 years of pain, severe scoliosis & two previous spinal fusions. I was bent over at the waist and barely able to walk. The surgery was many hours and my atrial fibrillation didn’t cooperate, however the recovery wasn’t long and the pain was immediately relieved. I had a wonderful support from your staff, my daughter & local home health professionals. To say you are a miracle worker is an understatement. I have been pain free for the first time in my life. Truly you have a great gift and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your expertise and post-surgical care.
A big thank you to Dr. Babat and all who assisted him in my back surgery last January. I never thought I could be living (back pain) free again at the age of 74. Dr. Babat has literally given me back my life. A big thank you to his office staff that were always pleasant and helpful.
It has been a year since you all worked your magic. I am doing well and wanted to thank all of you for giving me back a life. I am still working on balance but you gave me back mobility. I’m still not skating but compared to what I was when I walked into your office, I can accept some limitations. Thank you so much, I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
This man changed my life
He saved my husband’s life and made him a new man. He is absolutely the best back doctor around.
I had a previous back surgery and multiple shots and ablation treatments with no results. I took a chance and went online and found Dr. Babat. I went on his reviews and decided to go see him. It was the best thing I could have done. He performed surgery and put some screws and metal in my spine and I have finally found relief. I can't leave out the excellent office staff and Hillary. They were the most caring and professional staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Babat if you have any type of back/spine problems and looking for a solution for your pain.
Thanks for always listening and providing options where other doctors have said there aren't any.
He fixes the problem. If you're looking for a good doctor who is there to be your doctor, treat you while still making you feel important, and is not there to be your friend, Dr. Babat is the doctor for you.
Can't say enough thanks!
Hillary has made all the difference in my bone health care.
