There are no words that can possibly say enough about this blessed gift from God. We found Dr Kalhorn after an awful experience at Children’s Hospital in Norfolk, Dr. Kalhorn would be our Angel after our beautiful granddaughter who at 4 years old was diagnosed with a tumor that would be diagnosed as a cavernoma malformation. We would travel to Georgetown Medstar for her surgery and ongoing care because Dr. Kalhorn and his team are truly the VERY BEST! Gods best was there when we needed him most.

I suffered severe intractable back pain for nearly eleven years due to a crushing back injury. Dr. Kalhorn recently implanted a Spinal Cord Stimulator, developed by Boston Scientific, that prevents the majority of pain signals
