Patient Reviews
Oct 11, 2021
Dr. Houston is really a one of a kind and a skilled surgeon. After seeing my MRI, he had me in surgery within a week since my case was pretty urgent. I had already seen two other surgeons for different opinions since spine surgery was something that I wanted to avoid. He took his time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. I never felt like a number or rushed. When looking for a surgeon one of the most important factors is experience, and he has this in spades. This is a guy that's seen it all with over 4000 surgeries. If it can be done, he can do it and he doesn't give up. I went from extreme/excruciating pain in my neck and arm/hands to the point where I could only sleep one hour a night - to post surgery zero pain. It was a literal off switch to my pain and gave me my life back - and I owe that to him. His staff, and particularly his PA (Mr. Echeveste) went out of his way post surgery with follow up calls. Thank you Doctor for giving me my life back.
