"Dr. Corenman and his team in Vail were wonderful to me. My neck is fully repaired thanks to the skilled care I received. Dr. Corenman spent a great deal of time explaining procedures and options for me, patiently answering all my questions. It was indeed a comfort to be confident in the care I received."
