5/5
De. Alcalá performed cervical surgery. Experience was fantastic. He is an outstanding spine surgeon. My wife had surgery on 2 cervicals. Two days after surgery she is at home, with no significant pain and feeling very well. He is not only a gifted professional but also has the best bed side manners I have seen from only a small group of physicians. We recommend him 100%, without any reservations.
