I tried to make an appt with him, only to find out that I would never meet him until surgery; I would only see his PA prior to surgery. That is the most unethical garbage that I have ever heard. To have cervical surgery is putting my life in someone's hands, I want to know that I TRUST the surgeon. I can't trust you if I can't even meet you!!!!! Obviously, I never made an appointment.

Dr Eastman performed my spine surgery. You are already one step ahead of me and very smart to be reading the reviews. You will only be talking to his PA he does not have time for you.he did my surgery in less than 6 months later my screws were loose we were in the middle of the pandemic. After sending him a CT and an MRI he would not get back to me. His PA did. I needed immediate surgery my L4 and L5 screws were loose. I needed surgery immediately in May. I had MRSA on my spine. His office was closed. Because of covid-19 I was in excruciating pain. which he knew. they weren't doing elective surgeries at that time only emergency surgeries. once his office was reopened they called me in for surgery. I would not have made it, I found a neurosurgeon took one look at my MRI and CT and had me in surgery in less than an hour. If you're looking for orthopedic surgeon that cares that follows through, that has bedside manners this is not the doctor to go to. once he's done with your surgery he's done with you. Some people have had more luck than me with him. But to leave me during the pandemic, don't do that to yourself he won't be there when you really need him. I waited a year in pain with no complaints to have my surgery with Dr Richard Eastmon. His PA is Tom and he is kind. The staff that takes care of your insurance, also the staff that writes your doctors notices 5⭐s. Best wishes to everyone keep up with your homework reviews are number one I learned the hard way.

Dr Easton has operated on my back 7 times- after each operation I had much pain - each time I called for an appointment always had to see a PA first then make another appointment to see Dr Easton that was a 2-3 month wait- then another 7-10 month wait for a operation date- all this time I was in pain. After 7 operations I’m fused from L1-S1. Still having much pain . My last office visit I could only see a P/A Tom he told me that Dr Easton told him to tell me that there is nothing more he could do for me . I still have terrible back pain.

Best there is! Gave me back my quality of life. Nothing gets better than that. It was hard work, much physical therapy but Dr. Easton and his team believed in me all the way. Highly recommend!

Dr Richard Easton is one of the most knowledgeable orthopedic-spine surgeons that I know. Though it IS true that he is very busy, he is always responsive if and when you are in need. Highly recommended!

I have had over five surgeries with him. Kind, talks to you when you are discussing having surgery, then after...vanishes. Hospital staff nuck named him " The wizard of OZ, behind the curtain running the show, but never see him. Over confident, can not walk anymore after last surgery. Nerve damage. Simple problems he's okay, anything more, don't go. You see only his PA even for going over your MRI results. Unacceptable!

I had surgery with another doctor that failed and Dr Easton found the problem and fixed it after other doctors told me that did not know what was wrong.
The office is busy but Dr Easton spent a lot of time with me and made me comfortable with his explanations. The results were great!!

I have had three surgeries performed by Dr. Easton. The first one had cured what ailendme is the least invasive way. Unfortunately I was in a car accident that broke my back and fractured my neck. I had my back and neck fused. I am pain free and mobile thanks t this man. He may not have the best bedside manners but I was not there to make a friend either. I wanted to be healed. HIGHLY recommend.

Serious God complex... Rude and condensending when things don’t go as planned though no fault of your own and your outcome is less then perfect. Same cookie cutter surgeon. Sorry I believed the other reviewers...
