Dr Labagnara accepted me as a patient ..He took all precautions before my MAJOR surgery. I am 62 Years old. He made sure to do a bone density scan,which was excellent.. MRI. X-Ray etc.... He ALWAYS explained himself thoroughly and clearly. He well prepared me... He visited me ( with his fortunate minions) every morning after the surgery... He visited me in the ICU after surgery. I remember that he told me a joke( I think it was a test). I do remember smiling... Long story short, this more than excellent surgeon previous miracle as far as I'm concerned.

It has been impossible to find a new dr since Semmes Murphy looks to have a monopoly in Nuevo. My first Dr there was wonderful- Dr Michael, but this guy is cocky and has NO concern for the patient! Now I just found I have a sermon on the area and have even more pain!

I was referred to Dr. Cardenas after experiencing a year of shoulder pain and recent pains in my…read moreneck by my primary care physician. My primary care physician had ordered a MRI to be done at the hospital which showed a herniated disk touching my spine and moderate spinal canal stenosis. I was very nervous being referred to a neurosurgeon, but Dr. Cardenas eased my worries, due to his professionalism and knowledge of spine issues. He recommended that I have ACDF surgery two weeks after my initial visit. I really was happy that my pain was taken seriously and everything far as pre-surgery prep was done my first visit. Many test were performed, and before I left I found out the numbness in my ring and pinky finger was caused by a compressed nerve in my elbow. I've previously had a tingling sensation in my elbow, but I thought it was from me leaning on it. So...SPINE AND ELBOW SURGERY two weeks later. Dr. Cardenas staff was extremely helpful. Nurse Bonnie addressed all of my concerns leading up to surgery. I looked up YouTube videos of the procedures that would be performed on me. I had a million questions, and nurse Bonnie replied to me immediately through the Semmes Murphey portal, which I received a login my first visit. She also called me a couple of times as well. Days before surgery I couldn't take certain medications, and those reminders were given verbally and by handouts. I wasn't nervous at all until day of surgery.....talk about butterflies. We arrived about 6:30 a.m. at Semmes Murphy. The surgery facility is on the second floor and there's a waiting room for family/friends to wait in. It didn't take long at all for me to be called to the back. I was prepped for surgery as soon as I went back to my room. The nurse started an IV..while different people from the surgery team introduced themselves. I was terrified lol. I don't know if it was the medicine in the IV or nerves but I was freezing. Hospital staff brought in multiple warm blankets, but I was still freezing. I can remember telling them that I wasn't ready to be put to sleep. I guess they saw I was very nervous and the anesthesiologist came in so I knew it was about that time. She put medicine in my IV and a couple of other nurses came to transfer me to a different bed to wheel me out. Last thing I remember was one of the nurses asking me if I like to travel and I said yes I love traveling....and then lights out for about 4 hours for me. It only seemed like minutes when I woke up with a neck brace on and staples in my elbow with an arm sling. The staff definitely took very good care of me and I appreciate all the support they have provided.
