I cant even explain how much Dr. Derian helped me. I was referred to him by a co worker because I was having soooo much back and leg pain. I had been seen by another Dr. but was put on hold for so long until I just couldnot stand it. Dr. Derian made time to see and examine me ordered scans and X-Rays then Took time to Sit down with my Family to explain my condition and all my options for relief. I choose to have surgery and the rest is a great history. My recooup time was 6-8 weeks but by 4 weeks I felt that I was all healed. He is tops on my list and I recommend him to anyone needing Back sugery or at least get a second opinion from him. He is very professional very Knowledgable and precise. He has a WONDERFUL office crew that works with him and I truly appreciated them. Not only will he take care of you and your Backpain he is a compassionate Man who really cares about his patients. Never will you feel that you are a botter.If I need him again I will go back & my family & friends.
