Absolutely "THE BEST" Top Tier Surgeon & Staff…read more I was referred by another spine surgeon to Dr. Cyr after two previous laminectomies, years of physical therapy, decompression therapy, two years of radio frequency ablations, and many more years of pain pills and suffering with back pain. After looking Dr. Cyr on the internet, I was impressed with his credentials; having trained at Mayo Clinic and having served as the Chief of Air Force Spine Surgery and Spine Surgery Consultant to the Surgeon General of the Air Force and Pentagon. I figured that he would be the best choice on which to seek spinal fusion surgery and so I was expectantly looking forward to meeting with him and discussing my options as all other attempts at alleviating my back pain had been exhausted. I was so encouraged after my first appointment. His staff spends ample time with the patient and explains in detail what to expect and what not to expect. The doctor does not even begin surgery until after conducting three extensive diagnostic tests in order to 1) ensure you're a candidate for spinal fusion, and 2) to pinpoint the exact cause and area of the pain so it can be treated properly. Scheduling went very smooth as my surgery was performed at Memorial Hermann Surgical Hospital First Colony (near Sugarland) which in it self is a Top Tier facility. They took wonderful care of me during my five days of in-hospital recovery. This surgery is not to be undertaken lightly. Dr. Cyr is very strict on his expectations during recovery. The patient is expected to follow through with his instructions; especially during the first three to six months post surgery. Along with the recovery time SA Spine schedules timely and frequent follow-up appointments; every three months following surgery. In addition the offices are available and respond quickly to questions either by phone or email. I have not been disappointed and I know I made the right choice. For me the results have been excellent!! Most importantly "No More Back Pain". I highly recommend Dr. Cyr and SA Spine.

Dr. Cyr is an excellent surgeon who helped my daughter tremendously. His front office staff is…read morehorribly rude. We've been going to this office for follow-ups and physical therapy for nine months. Every time we see Frances, she has a disgusted look on her face and is incredibly rude. She actually tossed an envelope containing imaging at my daughter upon arrival. She is curt and her tone is angry if she speaks at all. There is no politeness from this woman. I'm currently looking for another surgical facility because I'm tired of paying thousands for us to be treated poorly. It's not conducive to the healing process.

Dr. Daniel Monsivais was my neurosurgeon. I was in pain that began about 2 1/2 years before I went…read moreto see Dr. Monsivais. Little by little I kept hunching over more and more. I tried Chiropractic, steroid shots, Arosti. Nothing worked. I actually went to an alternative pain clinic several times. One morning after the session I could not get off the table. They had to help me sit on a couch. Some mornings, I could not walk at all. My wife would have to give me pain killers, gabapentin and muscle relaxers before I could move again. I had to stop working August 2025 because I had to drive to work across town and sit at a desk all day. I could not drive if I took the meds and the owner would not let me work from home. I finally sought medical help. I had CT scans, x-rays and MRIs. After a VA Dr. diagnosed me, I was able to choose the Dr. of my choice for the treatment. I found Dr. Monsivais at the recommendation of a friend that works for neurosurgeons in the operating room. She told me that he was very well respected and had a great reputation. It has been 3 months since my operation. I feel like a new person. I do not have any pain, I walk upright and I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. Dr. Monsivais changed my life. He explained what needed to be done and took very good care of me. My spine was pretty much squeezing my nerves shut not allowing me to walk. Again, I feel great now.
