My pre-op nurse, Kristin, was so sympathetic and took her time explaining everything and starting my IV. I'm a hard stick but she got it after a 2nd stick but it didn't hurt. Nurse Ray brought me into the OR and introduced me to everyone before the Anesthesiologist Dayan put me to sleep so Dr. Meyer could make me whole again. I don't know how long the surgery was but I was swell enough to go home without any problems and some discomfort which is normal. I would highly recommend them and Dr. Meyer's for their treatment and they are on time.

I did not feel rushed or like I was just a number here. The staff was friendly and quick to get me registered and into the room without delay. I normally dread going to any doctors offices but this one was clean, had comfortable seating and staff that seemed to really like their jobs which is rare these days. 10/10, 5 stars, hopefully I won't have to go back but if I ever have back pain again they will be my choice.

NO STARS FOR THESE DOCTORS...... No surprise the 2 doctor's…read morein this group who affected my life probably spent more time and money scrambling to have my 100% honest 1st person comments and reviews I posted ( IAW Terms and Conditions of the platform to do so) deleted from Google and some other Medical Review sites. So I figured after I was finally able to get out of bed this morning to post again. As weird as it may sound both these doctors are on my mind every day and have been multiple times a day for over 10 years. Every time I reach for my cane in the morning, when I have to run to the restroom or pee my pants or when I try to do something as easy as screwing in a light bulb. Sadly I have to take a break before I can finish that task. Both these doctors had hands on me during a surgery and ruined my life by damaging my spinal cord during a surgery in 08. They both know what they did and who I am. I will be posting pictures of before and after MRI films of my spinal cord before and after they opened me up to "fix" a herniated disk. "I have done hundreds of these fusions" is what I was told and now I live with the words "I really had a hell of a time getting that bone out, I had to really tug and pull to remove it". That is most likely true but somewhere he left the part out when he should have told me your life will never be the same because it is very possible you now have Permanent Spinal cord damage where the tugging and pulling was done! If he could tell me in the way he did I can only imagine what really went on that day! Not making this up folks. Did I mention this was the first time I ever met this other doctor who told me this in the hallway during a post op visit. This was the visit when I first told the doctor that I could not feel my shoulder at all since waking up from the surgery. He told me "probably the way I was sleeping". Little did I know that not having feeling in my shoulder is something I WISH was the only problem I would have to live with after this surgery? Anyway I will be posting pictures of my arm muscles before and after and all the reports and data backing up my experience. Some PII and names will be redacted but I am sure we are all use to that by now right?( MAGA 2020). So I went from a pretty athletic guy in his early 40's to someone who has atrophied to a guy who has lost so much muscle my skin is actually hanging like someone who had weight loss surgery. The difference is my loose skin is where my muscle once was and now gone due to this of this surgical disastrous blunder. Remember doc this is all because of how I sleep right! Or because you lied and said I refused to wear my collar in your post op report. Shame Shame. I hope you both enjoyed your Christmas. I just got done taking pain meds and baclofen so I could make it through another day!! Sadly I am ashamed to say this but I am not addicted to pain meds but I am dependent on them because of the pain I live in now. I have to fool everyone at work and get through my day and sadly my big arms I use to be so proud of stay in long sleeves year round. I can never take off my shirt again because I am so embarrassed how deformed my arms and atrophied muscles look. I was my son's hero as a great athlete and now I can't throw a ball with him or run around the yard. I can only teach him with words not actions. Sad but true!! You can relate right Doc? You were a big football star weren't you? MY SCAR LOOKS GREAT BY THE WAY!! FIGURED I WOULD TELL YOU BECAUSE YOUR PAMPAS ASS BRAGGED ABOUT THAT SO MUCH! I am sure you will have one of your paid trolls have this 100% 1st person experience review deleted like you did my others. It is all legit and I hope one person takes my experience to go get another opinion at a NS. But for you if you don't show every new potential patient you have 5 stars then you might lose some business right? We don't want that God Forbid. I will just re-post my actual review and experience again in every platform offered. In my opinion I am sorry I did not GO TO A NEUROSURGEON!! I HAVE HONESTLY LIVED IN MISERY FOR OVER A DECADE! I did in fact have a cervical herniation at the C5 level that needed surgery and causing some symptoms such as tingling and pins and needles. But if I had known I would wake up and suffer every day for the rest of my life with what I ended up with I would have opted to forgo the surgery and seek other professional options. Please get a second and even 3rd opinion when having surgery in your neck. I am a real patient and "My Submission is true and accurate, it is my original work of authorship, and I am not impersonating any other person;" HAPPY NEW YEAR!! GO BLUEJAYS!!(-;

I jokingly said you're the third person to call me today and the rude lady told me to get used to it. You're gonna get two more calls this week so get used to it. If that wasn't rude enough, I told her to cancel my appointment cause I wasn't paying $2000 and she told me to call my doctor and hung up on me. I've requested multiple callbacks from the manager and the doctors who own the surgery center to no avail. I am now an ex patient and an ex customer and I hope everybody else does the same. How dare you speak to a customer with that tone and attitude and how dare you as the owner of the center and your own practice that you don't have the decency to call me and apologize for your rude employees. I am now an ex patient of your practice and will never set foot in the surgical center of Lakewood again. I hope you're happy with the service that this person provided and no one should have to deal with an attitude like that. Furthermore, I can't believe as a doctor you have no compassion to call up and apologize.
