Review for Dr. Huffman
Dr Abel operated on my husband's spine. Randy had been in major pain or so long. He did a fantastic job. I know my husband will be in pain for a while from the surgery, but I can already tell a major difference in the pain in his back when he walks. . So thankful we were recommended to him
