Review for Dr. Klunk
I was having a lot of lower back pain. I had gone through PT which made my hip hurt. Dr Klunk set me up for an injection which helped. I really liked him. I go back in 3 weeks.

Review for Dr. Klunk
This surgeon significantly improved my quality of life. He replaced 2 discs in my neck that were not directly adjacent to each other. He was extremely calm and confident throughout the entire process. I would describe him as honest, upfront, and thorough.
