Stories From Our Practice
“I was a mom of four and a yoga instructor when my disc bulged and splintered. After months of sleepless nights, Dr. Huntsman's team got me back to mom-life and trampolining with my kids.”
“I came in with a herniated disc and was in surgery within a week. The relief was immediate. I went straight back to managing my farm with no lingering problems.”
“I had lumbar surgery on L4 to S1 and was back at work in my own practice two days later. I did not even need home health.”
Before You Reach Out
Questions Patients Ask Us
What if I am not sure I need surgery?
Many of our patients come for a second opinion. We give a straight answer. Sometimes surgery is not the right choice, and we will tell you. When it is, we walk you through every step before you decide.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans, and we handle the prior authorization process for you. If you are not sure whether we are in-network, we will check before your visit.
How much will this cost?
The practice operates on insurance pricing, so there is no single flat price. Once we know your plan, our team walks you through what to expect.
How soon can I be seen?
Most patients have an initial appointment within a week. When surgery is needed, it is typically scheduled two to three weeks after that first visit.
What if I smoke?
Smoking can affect whether you are a candidate for surgery and how well you heal. It is worth an honest conversation, and our team will talk it through with you.
