"I had back and leg pain for the last 25 years. In 2010 both my legs would become numb after standing for 10 minutes and the pain was at times unbearable. After unsuccessful steroid injections I was referred to Dr. Bergeson. He was very concerned with my welfare and quality life. He was thorough in his examination and explanation of my condition. I had 5 herniated disks and spinal stenosis. He performed a laminectomy surgery and it went perfectly. The surgery was in April 2011 and now 3 months later I am completely pain free for the first time since I was a teenager. I owe it all to Dr. Bergeson's expertise and his compassion for his patients. If you are considering back surgery Dr. Bergeson is the man. You can trust that he will do what is best for you and has the skill to do it."

"I am 77 years young and I went to Dr. Bergeson after a previous surgery for spinal stenosis by another surgeon. After a few years my back began to hurt again and it got to the point I could hardly walk. I went to a pain management Dr. and had a series of shots to my lumbar area to no effect. I went for therapy, which made it worse. I went to Dr. Bergeson as really having no hope. He discussed surgery to me in full and told me to think about it pro and con. I decided to go ahead with the surgery and not only did he repair the old surgery and remove scar tissue but treated additional lumbar area. I had this surgery in January 2011 and have fully recovered. I can walk, and do my housework with absolutely no pain. No pain pills. I cannot explain enough how I respect, trust and recommend Dr. Bergeson for being an excellent, patient and knowledgeable doctor."

"The immense pleasure of being sufficiently retired to set my own itinerary was taking shape. But there was an interruption. The pleasure of physically working on projects long-delayed at the farm was dampened by crippling back pain. Dr. Bergeson was thorough in his examinations, clearly explained my problem and its correction and very patiently answered my questions. My confidence in him grew and was confirmed by a second opinion. During and after surgery, he was very attentive to my condition and I received outstanding care from him, his team and all involved. I prefer that "back surgery" not appear on my horizon again but if it does, Dr. Ryan Bergeson is my doctor. My anxieties approaching a similar surgery will be dramatically less than was the case this time. He is an outstanding Doctor---and a good man."

"Dr. Bergeson is an outstanding physician and surgeon. From my first consultation with him, I was impressed. He spent an extraordinary amount of time asking questions, answering mine, and reviewing and explaining imaging tests and procedures for correcting my spinal stenosis and ruptured disk. My surgery and recovery went exactly as planned, and, throughout it all, he showed absolute concern for my welfare. Today I am pain free and looking forward to enjoying life once again. My family and I hold Dr. Bergeson in highest regard and recommend him wholeheartedly."

"I had my first spinal fusion at age 13 in 1970. Forty years later Dr. Bergeson performed a second fusion on different disc. (These guys have come a long way in 40 years.) I would recommend to anyone that surgery be their last resort. That said, if that time comes for you, you will know it. If you are faced with that situation, I highly recommend that you see Ryan Bergeson. He is a marvelous surgeon. At this writing I am five months past surgery and I am well ahead of everyone's expectations, including my own. My life is back to normal."

"Dr. Bergeson performed my spinal surgery on March 1st and I feel great! I had suffered from spinal stenosis for a long time, until I realized that I had to do something. I could not stand up straight and could only walk comfortably for a short distance before I had to sit down. I suffered severe pain at my lower back and down the back of my legs.,,During my initial visit with Dr Bergeson, he thoroughly explained my condition and laid out the options before me. I decided, after trying physical therapy and one epidural steroid injection, that surgery was my best option.,,I had no problems whatsoever during the surgery itself, had minimal pain in the hospital and little to none when I came home. As of now, I have no pain down my legs or at my back and enjoy walking again. Dr Bergeson did a great job on me and is an outstanding, caring physician whom I would heartily recommend to anyone in need of his specialty."
