Dr. Brian R. Braaksma Quote:
“Growing up on a farm, I understand and appreciate hard work. I know the value of returning to work and the need for patients to get back to high-level activities, back to supporting their family, and enjoying life. I chose to specialize in minimally invasive spine surgery to get my patients back to work and back to life much quicker.”
