    Dr. Sendt is professional and knowledgeable, particularly with the placement and expectations of the spinal stimulator. I had very good results with the temporary trial stimulator and am looking forward to having her place and insert the permanent stimulator. Her explanations of how the medical device would work and the placement were easily understood and provided complete confidence on my part. Thank you, Dr Sendt!
