“I have been seeing Dr. Hotchkiss for several years to help me with my back and spine problems. He is very conservative which I like especially in a surgeon and has helped me tremendously first with a cervical thoracic fusion and lately with a lumbar fusion both anterior-posterior approach. We tried several alternatives before having surgeries. I totally trust his judgment and his work. He is an excellent surgeon and doctor who really cares for his patients and wants what s best for them. I have and will continue to highly recommend him. The experience from the first visit to my most recent has been excellent!”
