Volker KH Sonntag, MD, shares his Barrow memories
Born in West Prussia, Dr. Sonntag spent his toddler years in a West German refugee camp. He came to America in 1957 not knowing a word of English and learning to speak it by watching television. Working his way through medical school, he was in the first class to graduate from the University of Arizona Medical School in 1971. For the past 30 years, he has performed surgery on thousands of patients and has made significant contributions to the understanding of spinal disorders. He has co-edited five major books, made more than 800 presentations around the world, and written more than 90 textbook chapters and 300 journal articles. He is consistently recognized as one of the Best Doctors in America. In 2002, Dr. Sonntag was named the Honored Guest of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, the highest honor paid to a neurosurgeon by his peers.From:Barrow50thViews:160 0ratingsTime:02:52More inNonprofits Activism<\/p>\n
