The reviews listed below were collected independently of Arizona Neurosurgery and Spine At The CORE Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.

He was 30 minutes behind schedule and seemed in a hurry when we met. Basically said my only options are pain management and PT because my condition is too advanced. I had questions I didn’t get a chance to ask because he was in a rush. Not sure if he’s right but he didn’t seem interested in my issues so I’m going somewhere else for a second opinion. The lady at the front desk spoke highly of him so maybe he’s a good doctor, but it cost me $100 copay I can’t afford and I left without answers so that’s why 3 stars.

He’s a very knowledgeable dr. I had cervical surgery over two months ago. You can hardly see my incision in the front of my neck. I still get pain in my back of my neck. Epically at night, I still can’t lay flat, I still have to sleep sitting up with my head straight. I had physical therapy, but it will take time. I had my check up n I had to wait almost a hour n then he came in n spent less than five minutes with me. He didn’t say what I could do to improve the pain. Just said the xrays looked good to come back in 4 weeks with new Xrays taken.
