“awesome! ”
I was so happy with the amount of time Dr Talac spent with me discussing my problem and the best procedure to fix my problem he really took more than enough time with me no many Doctors care to do so now days. He showed to be very caring.

“Connected and comfortable”
From my very first visit to my last I felt completely comfortable with Doc Talac. He was very informative and confident in his tone and with his instruction. I cannot say that I could question his direction and his intentions. Doc Talac gave me 100% full undivided attention every time I was in his office. He recommended laser surgery and made that experience a breeze. I was in and out in no time with confidence that should I have had complications Doc Talac was at the ready. The front desk staff are true Gems and very customer orientated. Just the right place to be if anyone has a back issue or injury, Doc Talac.
Thank you so much for making this a tolerable and wonderful experience for me and my family. Special thanks to the Fibi in the front and the nurses you provided.

“An awesome doctor who know's his stuff. I'm finally better.”
I had suffered for two years trying everything. I met a lady at therapy who recommended him. I'm so happy I came here. I can now function and I'm doing great. I went from using a wheelchair and walker to walking on my own. I highly recommend Dr. Talac his bedside manner is the best.

“Great experience with Dr. Talac”
My husband and I both have seen Dr. Talac. He always spends time with you and explains each procedure in detail. He answers all questions and concerns. I have had my issues for many years and have seen many doctors, Dr. Talac is the first that has addressed my pain and given me relief.
I would recommend him to anyone with these issues.
