I hope my recent experience with Dr. Mork will help those who suffered from cervical stenosis make decision in choosing the best option of treatment.

I suffered from severe back and arm pain for five year after a bicycle accident. Recently, symptoms getting worse and all orthopedic neurosurgeons I have visited told me that I need an anterial cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) because MRI revealed that I had severe cervical stenosis at C5, C6 and C7 caused by the Herniation. I did a lots of home work online and realized that ACDF had a major consequence in about one third of patients years later, i.e., adjacent segment disease (ASD) that may lead to another surgery again and potential persistent back and neck pain probably in rest of my life. I think that is definitely not what I want. Searching online again, I submitted my MRI to several institutions and orthopedic neurosurgeons across the nation. Dr. Tony Mork was the only one responses immediately and set up phone interview the next day with me and my husband to review my MRI and discuss the plan of the surgery. He explained everything clearly with us about procedure and answered all the questions and concerns very professionally and patiently. Right after our phone interview and discussion, his nurse coordinated and arranged surgery very effectively. On August 19th, 2014, I had the endoscopic discectomy of C5-6 and C6-7 successfully. My back/neck pain and arm numbness dramatically went away right after recovering from anesthesia. This is amazing! I got two levels of Herniation removed at one time of surgery! I'm so happy to have such "life saving", simple and affordable surgery. My hard home work has given me a huge benefits in return... My friend learnt my story and joked "I"ll definitely have Dr. Mork do my surgery if I got neck problem...". Finally, I have only one word: Dr. Mork gets my life back!

I believe dr.mork is one of the most passionate and caring doctor I've met.
he has so much knowledge about what he does.
I am so happy I went with dr.mork and not laser spine institute, with dr.mork I felt compassion and at laser spine institute I felt like a number.
Since my surgery I have been running again and able to do the things I wasn't able to do for years.
Thank you dr.mork and christina.

Dr. is the one of the best doctor I have ever met. He understand what is the best for the patient and he has the best skills and the best experience to make his patient benefit the most from his surgery and treatment with minimal cost and suffering. His high quality warrant the high reputation as a best orthopedic surgeon in the world. My recent experience and outcome of the endoscopic cervical disk surgery of herniation was the evidence of what I commented above. Therefor, I highly recommend Dr. Mork to you if you have spinal disk problem and be told that you need disk fusion surgery!

Before surgery at age 71 I had to take a knee on the t box waiting my turn playing Golf. While shopping I could walk about 40 yards before I had to sit somewhere for awhile. I'm 73 now and playing 2 to 4 times a week from the white tees. I'm also skippering a 25' sailboat and racing once or twice a week without any pain! I work out 4 or 5 times a week. All this thanks to Dr Mork. He has perfected endoscopic back surgery. You can hardly see my tiny scar.

One of the most compassionate, knowledgeable doctors I have ever known. He even visits you at the hotel to change bandages the next day, he does it all. He gives you his cell number and you can reach him any time day or night. Woke up from surgery without pain that I had experienced for years. He is the best. He gave me back my life.

I had tingling, pins and needles, and pain when writing or holding items in my left (dominant) hand. Dr Mork ordered an MRI after an initial evaluation and reviewed the MRI with me carefully explaining all the issues (herniated disc and foraminal stenosis). He recommended surgery and scheduled an outpatient procedure at a convenient time. I had immediate same day relief of my symptoms and left the hospital less than 12 hours later. Four months later I still have to be careful not to overstress my neck but I am still happy with the outcome since all my initial complaints have gone away. I have called the doctor on two occasions to ask questions - he was happy to talk with me, I never felt rushed and we worked out a plan of action. His staff is excellent: helpful and charming. Dr Mork's expertise is astonishing. It is a shame there aren't more doctors like him.

I did major internet research regarding my back issue and it continually led me to Dr. Mork. I had my surgery in February, 2013 and I am feeling great! Almost two months later and I am back to 30 minute walks twice a day, swimming, a little hiking and back to work. The existing pain I had is completely gone. Every day I am feeling a little stronger. I would highly recommend Dr. Mork. Thank you Thank you Thank you...
