Dr. Zielinski is a phenomenal neurosurgeon! I had significant pain before the surgery. I was to the point that the pain was unbearable and finally went to see my primary physician. I was referred to another neurosurgeon, but had heard great things about Dr. Zielinski, so I made the decision to go to him. I am so glad that I did. He is extremely thorough with his post surgery care. He takes extra steps to ensure the healing process goes well so that there will never be a need for repeated surgeries. He provides extensive information prior to the surgery, as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Zielinski for your neck and back issues.
