Dr. Carmody is a miracle worker. Texas Back Institute and Up & Open Imaging MRI both missed I had a cyst at L-5 which was causing lower leg pain and excruciating ankle pain to the point I could barely walk due to pain for eight months. My TBI doctor left the practice and I saw another doctor who immediately saw the cyst on L-5 but thought my problem was "maybe" or "possibility" caused by the L-5 Lumbar Vertebra being out of alignment and pressing on the sciatic nerve and recommended a "soft fusion." No one in their right mind has back fusion without the doctor being certain about the diagnoses. I saw Dr. Carmody for a second opinion and he said, "He didn't see anything screaming fusion." and recommended the less invasive procedure of removing the cyst first.
I woke up from surgery and the pain was gone. The healing process wasn't bad and physical therapy helped me regain the strength I had lost sitting around for eight months. It has been a year since my surgery and I have no further problems with pain in my lower leg or ankle. Dr. Carmody is friendly, takes the time to answer all your questions and does a very thorough physical. I cannot recommend him high enough, he's a fantastic doctor.

After years of pain and dealing with the discomfort stemming from a pinched nerve, I decided it was time to explore my options with a surgeon. I had exhausted all other temporary remedies. I was referred to Dr. Cameron Carmody. The moment I met him and discussed my options, I no longer had fear of having a surgical procedure. With Dr. Carmody’s confidence, expertise, experience, and knowledge, I knew I would be in good hands. I had a disc replacement in my neck. The procedure was a very smooth process with very little downtime. Two weeks post-surgery I was back to running, cycling, and eventually weight training. I can now run and cycle on the road for a number of hours and no longer have numbing in my arm, sharp pain in my upper back, or soreness in my neck. I wish I had gone to Dr. Carmody years ago. As a former collegiate runner, I have had my fair share of injuries and have seen multiple specialists over the years. Dr. Carmody is by far one of the best doctors that I have worked with to find a solution to an injury. I highly recommend Dr. Cameron Carmody and his staff.

I went to see Dr Carmody in alot of pain. He recommended other options and ask to try some things to see if we could avoid surgery; however, my case needed surgery. He is an excellent surgeon; I will recommend him for everyone who asks. After the surgery, as I woke up , I realized that I was completely free of the pain. Here at 7 weeks post op, I am still pain free and doing very well..

It's been a year since I met Dr. Cameron Carmody. I was barely able to stand, lie down or even walk for the pain in my back. With my husbands help, I got into the exam room and met with Dr Carmody. He was sympathetic and showed obvious concerns before even knowing all my complaints. After all tests, he explained what was happening and what was needed to relive my pain. Obviously, he was disturbed that he wasn't immediately able to help as soon he wanted because of insurance procedures and it was an excruciating 3 weeks before I could have my surgery. His office staff and the insurance staff were persistent with the insurance company and contacted me soon as I was approved. My procedure was performed only days later. I awoke to immediate relief and though I had some other issues NOT related to surgery, I never regretted it for a moment!! Dr Camody came to the hospital personally every day to see how I was
doing(from personal experience, that rarely
happens anymore!). My husband and I commented after my first visit to Dr Carmodys office that he made us feel Like we had known him for a long time and how assuresd we felt that I was in the best hands. Before consulting any doctor, We researched everywhere online to find the best reviews we could find before choosing to make an appointment with Dr Carmody. Highly favorable and highly recommended reviews were definitely honest and "spot on"! Thank you, Dr. Carmody.

Dr. Carmody performed an artificial disc replacement in 2015 of my disc between my c-4 and c-5. My pain was relieved almost instantly and my recovery was a breeze. Two years later, I am still active and healthy. He was a pleasure and very compassionate. We drove from Alabama to see him and it was totally worth it. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Carmody is an amazing and talented surgeon. I have suffered from scoliosis most of my life and needed a Dr. who not only listened to me, but could also help me. I saw four surgeons over three years before I saw Dr. Carmody and all of them either told me they couldn't help me because my case was "too complicated" or just wanted to give me pain meds. Dr. Carmody was the first one to not only listen to me, but he never once said I was too complicated to help. I ended up having 2 discs replaced and more spinal fusion. He explained my procedure thoroughly with me and now 6 months later I have gone from daily debilitating pain to almost 90% pain free!

I don't know what I did or how I did it, but I went from having a crick in my neck to "living" on Hydrocodone and Oxycontin in about 3 weeks. Nothing takes away nerve pain, the drugs only took the edge off the pain.

A co-worker recommended Dr. Carmody and I am so glad I went and saw him. C4-C5 disk was pushing on the nerves on the left side of my neck and C5-C6 was not far behind. Dr. Carmody recommended surgery on both disks. I asked about shaving the bulges off the disks and he said I could have that procedure done but that I would be back in two years. I followed his advise and had the vertebral fixation and I am so glad I did.

I woke up from the anesthetics with no pain in my neck. Two years after surgery and I am doing really well.

Thank you Dr. Carmody!!
