He did a fusion for me in C6-C7 in 2013. It continues to be doing well. He diagnosed me with severe bilateral carpal tunnel in 2022 and is okay with me refusing surgery for now (I don't do surgery because its not hindering my abilities but I do have atrophy on left palm). Dr Demers did surgery on my dad in 2019 and 2020, and my dad was satisfied with care and recovery (he passed in 2020 but from a non related condition). Now, I have some lumbar spine issues and Dr Demers has been supportive. He even explained that I needed to see orthopedic for my knee. As for front desk, I haven't had any bad experience with them either. I do a lot of check in on the Athena Health app, so they already have information.

I went to another surgeon The other surgeon looked and his surgery noted and said he did not do half of what his notes said he did. Furthermore, one of the screws was broken off.

I met with Dr. Vacca after a year of terrible nerve pain which was limiting how I wanted to live my…read morelife. Before I met with Dr. Vacca, I had a zoom call with a top neurosurgeon at Stanford. I am sure I would have gotten outstanding care there but at a much greater cost. Dr. Vacca instilled the same degree of confidence, was straight forward and clear in his communication weighing the pros and cons of the surgery I needed to live my best life. His office staff was engaging and efficient and they scheduled me for surgery, even in the midst of a pandemic, in a very short time period. I was almost pain free immediately after the operation. Dr. Vacca was outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone that could use his areas of expertise. He is the type of doctor that will communicate clearly, be conservative regarding surgery but also tell you if there is someone or some place better suited. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to have him help me.

I waited 4 months to see Dr. Blake at Sierra Neurosurgery in order…read moreto get a neck ablation. The long wait was worth every single day. He greeted me kindly and asked the location of my pain. With the first nerve block he hit the correct area with his needle! I called it the "money shot", and knew there was hope for a better outcome than my previous ablations. Since 2 nerve blocks are required, I had to wait a little longer for the final 3rd visit to get the ablation. Being in the room with just him and ( Tech ) Dave was calming and relaxing. They both treated me with such tender care. My neck is doing REALLY well. Dr. Jacob Blake is 100% worth the wait.

Dr. Blake and His Staff are the absolute worst Dr. to visit. Since I had to drive to Reno for my…read moreappointment I noticed there were several other Drs. at this office. Pick your Dr. wisely. Dr. Blake had been in Truckee ( where I live) only 1 day a month. I saw him and had me get an MRI. Next Month he was gone. No letter or letting patients know that he will practice solely in Reno. He was the only back and neck doctor here. So, I got visit him in Reno. He was training another man at the same time. He was very preoccupied. I just moved to Tahoe Donner from the Bay Area so I'm not used to only having 1 dr. to see. He gave me a few vicadin and was supposed to call to schedule an epidural. I was getting them by a "real dr" before this idiot, I had to remind Dr. Blake to look over my MRI because he forgot he he ordered one for me before his departure from Truckee. I phoned Dr Blake's office prior to Thanksgiving. I spoke again on the answering machine. Again, no response. I'm am over it. I'll go back to Stanford where I won't get the shotty treatment. He should be ashamed of himself.
