Very professional and experienced explain step-by-step what he is doing well helping the patient
I am sure Dr. Newell is a highly skilled medical professional, which I respect, but his bedside manner could be vastly improved. The nurses were wonderful when I was prepped and during the procedure, but he did not acknowledge, greet, or speak to me as a patient. I’ve never had that experience as a patient. I felt like a mannequin on which he was practicing.
I have been with Dr. Newell for about a year and he has been diligently helping with my back pain. I received Intracept yesterday and hoping this will be the final answer to my problem. He is always friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend him!
Pleasant, professional and very knowledgeable
He’s the best

I had some questions before my procedure and Dr. Newell came in to answer all of them. That really me.
Great doctor, down to earth, and explained everything, including after care.
Excellent!!!
I feel so comfortable with him and trust him.
