Hear What Our Patients Are Saying...

I am very impressed with Dr. Logan! His correct, accurate diagnoses and immediate corrective action saved the life of my family member. He not only performed in the highest professional standards, but showed a personal care, comfort, and concern to family members. I would highly recommend Dr. Logan to anyone needing his specialized skills.

I wouldn't see anyone but Dr. Logan and his staff.
Excellent doctor and experience.

I am so thankful for Dr. Dietze! I am a strong advocate for this group, not only did they help me to recover, they gave me my life back! Thanks to everyone who was apart of my recovery! Dr. Dietze, I remain in your debt! Because of you, I can live life again, pain free! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! My family thanks you!

AMAZING NEUROSURGEON! Dr. Dietze performed a cervical implant with a 1-stage fusion AND a lumbar implant with a 2-stage implant. He has the BEST bed-side manor! I wouldn't trust my back problems with any other doctor!
