REVIEWS:
“Dr. Stokes saw me quickly, told me I would need a Mobi-C artificial disc, and was able to get me into surgery quickly because of my pain level. He was very intelligent and humble. Now, almost a year later, I am 100% back to my normal activities with no pain. Other doctors recommended more complex surgeries with greater complication rates, and weren’t able to get me in to for surgery for several weeks. I am so glad I saw Dr. Stokes. Thank you Dr. Stokes and staff!” – Rishi D.

“I am two months out from a craniectomy and would highly recommend Dr. Fox.
I met with another surgeon first, who suggested something far more invasive than what Dr. Fox did, and I am so, so happy I continued my search. Dr. Fox is very calm, and conservative in his treatment (both of which I appreciated since I was very freaked out by the prospect of having my head sawed open).” – V. V.

REVIEWS:
“Pre-op visits and Post-op surgery were excellent. I had a disc replacement (C5/C6) after spending one-year visiting pain docs and another neurosurgeon, but the decision was easy after discussing what needed to be done for a long-term solution. Its been nearly two months out, and I am back to my regular activities with no pain. Dr. Burnett is a highly trusted physician and an outstanding surgeon who truly cares about his patients.” – Elise A.

“We appreciated the balance of his experience with the freshness of his education, residency, and fellowships. We valued the recency of his acquired knowledge. It gave us confidence that he would be using the most up-to-date and available technologies available to him and his staff. He was not the most experienced of the two candidates but he was the most qualified. Once we chose to move forward with Dr. Ashour, we never looked back.” – M. T.

“All of the radiating pain down both legs was gone the same day of surgery. I am still feeling some pain due to degeneration of the lower back from arthritis but I am now able to do physical activity. The service and follow-ups with Dr. Peterson and his referral to a good physical therapist have made a big change for the good.” – Cliff C.
