Dr Brodke did my back surgery on 1999. He is an amazing surgeon and person. He fixed my back so wonderfully that I forget I have 6 rods 6 screws and a cage in my back. I can touch my toes and I never have had any back pain. He has also operating on 3 extended family members with the same great results. If you want to have back surgery Dr Brodke is the ONLY one you should consider!! He is also a great person who really cares about his patients. I can say enough good about him!!
