“Dr McCance has magic hands!! A brilliant surgeon! I am so grateful to him! I was in terrible trouble. As a result of a fall I totally lost my balance. I could not walk without holding the wall. I needed cervical neck surgery to correct my balance as well as lower back because I had severe stenosis and I couldn’t walk without pain. Now I am pain free and I traveled from out of state for the surgery. And the staff is wonderful!!” ~ RateMDs
