Before my surgery I did a lot of research to find the best Doctor and Dr Mcentee was highly recommended. I am very happy with the surgery outcome and my rehabilitation has gone very well. The staff at the practice where very helpful. I would definitely recommend this surgeon for a disc replacement.

I honestly can’t thank Dr McEntee enough! He was the only doctor that took me seriously about my back pain. Even though I’m only young he still agreed to help me so that I can get my quality of life back. I’m now on the road to recovery after he did an amazing job at fixing my back. I will forever be extremely grateful!

I have been suffering with back pain and leg pain for nearly 18 months. After seeing other surgeons who couldn’t figure out the cause or couldn’t treat the cause I found Dr McEntee through Google due to his amazing reviews and booked in to see him. He found the cause of my back pain and leg pain very quickly and treated me non surgically and when that failed to work he has now treated me surgically. I’m hopefully on the way to recovery and I am very thankful to Dr McEntee for the skills and knowledge he has. His office staff have been very polite and helpful throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr McEntee to anyone who has problems with their back/spines. Thank you again.

My GP. Dr Norman Hohl of Southport, addressing my needs, attentively recommended Dr McEntee Orthopaedic. Spine Surgeon
I am now happily recuperating from the serious spinal operation that ensued. My experience during the whole procedure, including hospitalisation, was enlightening and positive. I wish I had faced the process sooner to experience relief from the severe body pain I enjoy now.
