Great surgeon, very personable. Great doctor patient relationship
Explains every thing love it
Doctor Jackson was wonderful. He answered all of my questions, I felt understood about the problems I have been having. He was considerate and looked at all options. He broke down the surgery in a way that made me feel comfortable having surgery by him. I would recommend him.
He was very honest about my condition and that he wasn't able to do the type of surgery I needed. I was referred to another of his partners. Unfortunately, it's going to take anothewr month ans a half to see him.
Excellent! The first provider who has ever explained and diagnosed what has been happening to me for over 10 years. I am extremely pleased and encouraged!
Very friendly and helpful!
My first neck fusion surgery was an emergency situation back in 2008 in another state. To find out I needed to fuse the next 2 vertebrae’s was beyond scary to say the least! Dr Jackson from the very first visit has made me feel completely at ease and in the very best hands ! He is extremely professional at the same time taking the time to answer all my questions and concerns. He explains step by step what the before, during, and after of my procedure is going to look like , in a language that I can understand , He also is the only Dr I know personally or that I have discussed with my family and friends that has his own app that I have access to an array of information/ videos/ and that tracks my daily progress for him and his team to be with me every step of my journey! I could not be more at ease, and confident that I have a whole team along with me at all times! In my experience , I’ve had been blessed with excellent Dr’s but Dr David Jackson is the complete real deal! Thank you
Excellent doctor explained procedure.
Terribly disappointed as I reached out twice via phone in the days that followed and left messages regarding no reduction in pain. I’ve yet to hear from anyone. Barbara Jones 6/25/25
Just had my first visit with Dr Jackson. So far I like his professionalism
