Dr. Thapar and his staff are an amazing trio of specialists. I received the care necessary to give me back the active life I love. I'm grateful to have had Dr. Thapar and his team handling my extensive lumbar surgery. They are forthcoming with needed education and information and in answering all questions. It's been 13 weeks now and I'm feeling better and stronger every day.
