Wonderful physician! Patient with all my questions and explained everything in detail about my surgery. My spinal surgery was a success with little to no complications. He has really changed my life. I’m seven weeks out and I’m really happy about my progress. I highly recommend Dr. Michals and his staff to take care of you.

I have only the highest praise for Dr. Michael. His consultation was precise, informative, and helpful in helping me decide if and where to have back surgery. Excellent doctor and surgeon.

Exceptional. Highly skilled, professional, knowledgeable, kind...overall the ideal patient experience. This is the best spine surgeon in the country. I had L4-L5-S1 issues that kept me in the hospital for two weeks. Dr. MichaeI evaluated all options (I had already had epidural injections, physical therapy, etc.), so we knew surgery was the only option. Impeccable communication, organization, diagnoses and follow up by his first-class staff, from administrative to nursing/PA and Dr. M himself. It's been 10 weeks since my 3-level lumbar fusion procedure, and I am months ahead of where I expected to be in recovery. I never write reviews online, but this was a life-changing experience and has been so positive that I felt compelled to write a 5-star review. I highly recommend Dr. Michael and his staff to anyone with a spine injury/pain.

Have been missed diagnosed by two previous Dr.'s. Started looking for a great Neurosurgeon, found Dr. Michael and I have been blessed beyond any words with his abilities. I Thank God daily that Dr. Michael performed my C-spine surgery. His staff and PA's have all been very helpful. I will recommend Dr. Michael to everyone needing a great Dr.

I am very happy with the results of my microdisectomy, performed by Dr. Michael. I always felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Michael. I will say, it is a little frustrating to have a 3:30 appointment and not be seen until 4:30. But I understand things come up so it’s not the end of the world. Definitely would recommend to a friend or family member.

Exceptional Doctor and staff. Ensured all support test and x-rays were ordered promptly and correctly. Very well organized, excellent communication, diagnoses and follow up. Dr. Michael made me feel like he had my best interest in mind recommending a more moderate treatment plan leaving options open. His approach worked perfectly. All pain and discomfort have been eliminated. Highly recommend for anyone needing neck surgery. Doctor Micheal and his staff were easy to work with always took the time to completely address any question. Hopefully I will never need his services again, but if so, I would not hesitate to contact.
