Best Surgeon around. He did my neck and back. I never thought I would be pain free. Dr. Degenova listens and really takes everything into consideration before surgery. He explained everything to me and my husband. Was it a comfortable 2 surgeries no but I can now live my life without pain. Thank you

I thought everything was going well until my surgery. Not only did the doctor use the wrong material he ignored my complaints about other symptoms for over a month. Once my daughter got me into another doctor I learned that I had suffered severe injuries during the surgery that will require further surgeries. This man shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine.

Dr. Degenova and his remarkable staff turned a very painful situation into a most gratifying experience. The initial reception in the office, meeting Dr. Degenova and his team, the surgical procedure, brief hospital stay, and the follow-up visit were most rewarding. This amazing group of individuals not only relieved my pain and suffering in very short order but did so with excellent professionalism and outstanding personal attention. This medical group is to be commended. I would like to thank all of them again for their expertise, care and concern that resulted in the resolution of a very painful situation.

I had my spinal fusion surgery 5 years ago this week and have lived pretty much pain free since then. I have not had a single hour of numbness in my legs in 5 years and I know my limitations on my back. There are certain things I just can't do anymore. That may also be because I'm now 61. I wanted to be pain free when I retired and I did that 2 1/2 year ago. Mission accomplished. Thanks Doc.
Even better than these results, Dr. Degenova convinced me to quit smoking after being a pack a day smoker for 35years. I have not touched a cigarette since August 13th, 2011 and I owe that to Dr. Degenova, so I guess you could say this guy changed my life in more ways than one. He's not only a good Dr., he's a pretty awesome caring, honest and honorable person. I would recommend him to anyone. He's a great guy and a great Dr.

I have been seeing Dr. Degenova since 2012 and can say he has changed my life and taken away my pain in my back. I never thought I would have this kind of relief but thanks to him I'm back up and moving. It's been an amazing journey and highly recommend him to everyone who has back problems. Thanks Deg!

Dr. Degenova is a fantastic doctor. He actually listen to what you have to say. He was able to quickly determine my issue and order the test needed to perform the surgery needed. He is a very good doctor, and has a sense of humour.

I highly recommend Dr. DeGenova. He is very professional yet he actually spends time listening to you and asking questions to learn more. Throughout the entire process, from pre surgery to post surgery, his staff is to be commended for their promptness, thoroughness, and personability. Even after surgery, Dr. DeGenova took time to address my concerns. He never once treated me like I was just a number or a nuisance (like other doctors I've been to.) I am only a month out post op but the pain I had prior to surgery is gone.
