Dr Mickler, DO  and Ed Rios,PA are an exceptional dynamic duo. Combined with an invincible care taker staff, from intake to discharge were exemplary. With a highly trained nursing staff, all of my needs were met. Surgery on Thursday; checked out on Friday. 
A novel two inch incision on either side of spine provided highest possible degree of minimal invasive surgery. 
You just won't find a better spinal surgery procedure any where else.
