Learn More3rd year follow-up: Dr Wertz and his team at OAA are still the best. This time Dr. Wertz had to alter my plan approachand. Once again they successfully diagnosed my pain and performed the right procedure. So far pain level is zero!!!! 2 years follow up review: Dr Wertz has successfully continued to manage my back pain. He cares about, and listens to his patients. Which is why Dr Wertz’s treatment approach is so successful. This is my 1 year follow up review. The last two times Dr Wertz suggested different injection sites. Dr Wertz was spot on and my pain has been drastically reduced. Dr Wertz and the surgical facility’s staff is friendly, efficient and very competent. SCoA still remains a top notch facility and comes highly recommended with 5 stars!
