Dr. Antezana is an amazing surgeon and person. It would take much too long to tell of all his qualities that I admire. My spinal issues have been complicated throughout the years. I always feel he cares and I trust and respect him. He is the only surgeon I would allow to work on my spine and I have only praise for him.

I was satisfied with my visit with Dr. Antezana, even though we are delaying any surgery at this time-he is recommending some things for me to try in the mean while for my neck pain. I am his second patient from our family. He has worked with my husband over a span of 7 years and has done surgery on my husband twice resulting in good spinal support. We would recommend him highly. He cares for his patients and wants what is best for them. He doesn't do things lightly. We have nothing but good things to say about him, his assistants, and office staff.

Dr. Antezana has walked me through every question I have given him as well as informed me of the entire process before I even knew what to ask. With a Dr. as well spoken and able to communicate as Dr. Antezana and a staff that work well with him. My Experience has been Excellent and i am confident my surgery, recovery, and success will be just as good

I only had one appointment with this doctor a couple with his PA and a recent contact with them about an MRI I just had. I wanted to have him look at the MRI and get his thoughts, so I wanted to make an appointment with him however, all I got was a call from a nurse telling me that he had looked at my MRI and that he could do nothing for me. I believe the attitude of this doctor is very arrogant I can't even remember who recommended him to me but he looks and sounds like he cannot spend time with you unless you're worth the money. Very sad. no I will not recommend him at all
maybe if his attitude was different and he didn't come across like way above you not worth his time.

Dr Antezana was great on both of my back surgeries,Margaret Baker one of his assistants ,stated he could no longer treat me in the middle of still having problems,and was poor about returning calls.It would have been a great experience overall but I could never get through to Dr Antezana when I called for him,instead got poor service and little answers from his team.

I have had five surgeries with Dr. Antezana and am about to have the sixth. He is excellent! He has done a great job on each surgery and continues to help me when new problems arise. He's excellent with follow-ups.
