FROM OUR PATIENTS

“I had disabling back pain interfering with my work, my sleep, and my leisure. After consulting several excellent physicians in Dallas who all recommended complicated fusion surgery I traveled to see Dr. Peloza and had surgery without a fusion and its downrange complications. 1 month later I am pain free and once again active in all daily activities. His staff is amazing and they coordinate all aspects of your care and do a great job on Tele care as well. Dr. Peloza cares about his patient's quality of life and their perception of care. There is none better when it comes to bedside manner, patient communication, expertise in the field, and access to care. Don’t want to be another 'Postlaminectomy syndrome on chronic pain meds' - Then this is the place to trust for your care!”
