Dr Q has been very kind and helpful. Not sure if the procedure will fully resolve my pain but I was told by him that I will not know the full extent of the success for 4-5 more months.

Dr Dowdell is always the most considerate, caring physician I could ever ask for , I trust him completely

After having the same surgeon for 20 years and retiring to have to find a new one was very challenging but when I found Dr. Dowdell it seemed too good to be true! From the moment we met through every step until surgery and there after has been nothing but the best care and quality of service one would hope to have. He listened and understood my prior history and worked with that and around it to make this surgery the best outcome it could be. He gave me a surgical option and non surgical option but for me i went with the surgery and very happy that I did. Even since the surgery the care of Dr Dowdell has been exceptional.

Dr. Cammisa is far more than a brilliant and extraordinarily skilled surgeon—he gave me my life back. His expertise, compassion, and dedication transformed what felt impossible into a new beginning. I will always be profoundly grateful for the life-changing care he gave me. He is, quite simply, beyond lifesaving.

Dr. Dowdell is the best. You can't do better. It's not just his skill as a physician and surgeon, he knows how to communicate.

Dr Kim and staff were excellent. No complaints. I also saw Vijay [ ] same day in the afternoon and not sure you're sending me a survey. He also was very good no problems however the office is assistant that handles all the scheduling Etc has an infestation of ants coming from the air conditioner so as I was sitting... there were ants going all over my papers and on my hands and arm. Unacceptable. I understand it's been an ongoing problem . Also when I left it was the end of the day but there was no staff to wheel me back downstairs to the lobby to leave. I started leaving her office but the carpeting made it almost impossible for me while seated to roll along . Ultimately his assistant got me to the elevator door . While seated I maneuvered myself into the elevator and out on the ground floor and fortunately the security guard saw me struggling and helped push me outside. Very nice. My point is if somebody brought the chair up to Dr vad's office why couldn't they bring me back downstairs. But the situation with the ants was awful because they went to the clipboard & then they were on my arm. Bottom Line at the risk of redundancy not a new problem. To have a patient sit at that second desk by the air conditioner where the ants were continuously coming through is terrible. I want to be clear this has no bearing on my opinion of Dr vad's capabilities but please do something cuz I will not go back in that room again. Call me if u want add'l info. Thank you

I came to Dr. Farmer as a second opinion, and he provided me with clear answers and a level of trust that made me comfortable to decide that he was better choice with regards to SurgeonS

Dr. Zelenty is wonderful!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Huang!!! From the moment I met with him, he - and his team - made me feel safe, heard, and understood. I was in SO much pain, and he validated that for me. His knowledge and skill set is unmatched, but what stood out even more was how personable and patient he was. He went over every detail, answered every question, diligently went through the MRI slides with me showing where the issues were and how he would fix them, and ultimately made an overwhelming and scary process feel manageable. I’m so thankful for him.

Jul 21, 2026
Dr Huang is a warm person, available to me as needs, obviously skilled and an excellent communicator
