Dr Newell was very thorough with explaining in full detail everything that I needed to know, and was very descriptive and answering questions.
Friendly and informative
Good beside manny professional staff explains procedure. Time on and off the table was great. Next day calm from office to check on how things went
He is awesome Dr talks to you in language that you can understand not a bunch of medical mumbo jumbo . Love the Dr.
Great job, cares for patients
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
