Patient Reviews
Mar 19, 2022
I have osteoarthritis and it just takes its toll on my joints. My lifesaver is Dr. James Farmer, spinal surgeon, Hospital for Special Surgery, NYC. DR. Farmer has performed multiple cervical and lumbar surgeries on me and has been my lifesaver. He not only cares about your physical problems, he addresses your emotional side also. Without going into detail, I had a major problem that could have caused me to have a huge surgery in my cervical spine but he talked with other surgeons and doctors and came up with a minimally invasive solution. He’s patient, caring and understanding. I have never felt rushed. He’s not a “cut” happy doctor. He takes his time to weigh options. I cannot recommend him enough. I trust him with my life.
