Dr. Tibbs has performed surgery on me twice, 13 years apart and in both instances I cannot imagine having a better neurosurgeon. My first surgery was quite involved. I needed to have a lumbar fusion but what didn't show up on my MRI were cysts adhering to my sciatic nerve on both sides. So he performed both nerve surgery and orthopedic surgery. After a normal recovery period I was good to go on with my life without pain and with normal movement. The second surgery, 13 years later, involved a fusion immediately above the former one. Again, after a normal recovery period I was able to resume my life without pain and with normal function. How absolutely wonderful is that? Dr. Tibbs is an excellent surgeon and a very nice man who deeply cares about his patients. I highly recommend him!
