Patient Reviews
Aug 03, 2021
I had been seeing Dr Spooner for over 3 years concerning my back pain. Once the pain to the level I could no longer tolerate, he successfully performed a L5-S1 laminectomy with instrumented fusion on my back. Before surgery 15-20 minutes was all I could take on my feet standing/walking. Now after 10 weeks post-op I have no trouble walking a mile at a time. Top notch neurologist in my book with a great bedside manner.
