I am sure I would have gotten outstanding care there but at a much greater cost. Dr. Vacca instilled the same degree of confidence, was straight forward and clear in his communication weighing the pros and cons of the surgery I needed to live my best life. His office staff was engaging and efficient and they scheduled me for surgery, even in the midst of a pandemic, in a very short time period. I was almost pain free immediately after the operation. Dr. Vacca was outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone that could use his areas of expertise. He is the type of doctor that will communicate clearly, be conservative regarding surgery but also tell you if there is someone or some place better suited. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to have him help me.

I waited 4 months to see Dr. Blake at Sierra Neurosurgery in order…read moreto get a neck ablation. The long wait was worth every single day. He greeted me kindly and asked the location of my pain. With the first nerve block he hit the correct area with his needle! I called it the "money shot", and knew there was hope for a better outcome than my previous ablations. Since 2 nerve blocks are required, I had to wait a little longer for the final 3rd visit to get the ablation. Being in the room with just him and ( Tech ) Dave was calming and relaxing. They both treated me with such tender care. My neck is doing REALLY well. Dr. Jacob Blake is 100% worth the wait.

Dr. Blake and His Staff are the absolute worst Dr. to visit. Since I had to drive to Reno for my…read moreappointment I noticed there were several other Drs. at this office. Pick your Dr. wisely. Dr. Blake had been in Truckee ( where I live) only 1 day a month. I saw him and had me get an MRI. Next Month he was gone. No letter or letting patients know that he will practice solely in Reno. He was the only back and neck doctor here. So, I got visit him in Reno. He was training another man at the same time. He was very preoccupied. I just moved to Tahoe Donner from the Bay Area so I'm not used to only having 1 dr. to see. He gave me a few vicadin and was supposed to call to schedule an epidural. I was getting them by a "real dr" before this idiot, I had to remind Dr. Blake to look over my MRI because he forgot he he ordered one for me before his departure from Truckee. I phoned Dr Blake's office prior to Thanksgiving. I spoke again on the answering machine. Again, no response. I'm am over it. I'll go back to Stanford where I won't get the shotty treatment. He should be ashamed of himself.

It's somewhat out of the area, but I think it's worth it. The Dr. Was very thorough and made me feel at ease. I have a follow up in a few weeks to see how I am recovering. I will also start treatment with a machine to help with my nerves. 7/17/19 Update:Follow up office visit. I am so grateful for the referral that brought me here! I've been slowly recovering, and Dr.Bantum has been great. He listens thoroughly, and has a very confident outlook. I'll be back in another few weeks. 8/7/19 Update I'm back again for my re-check. The last time was very helpful!! I like Dr.Bantum's demeanor, and bedside manners. He is very thorough and listens to my questions and frustrations. I'll be back in another few weeks! Another favorite I like, are the tiny sticky pads and pens at the checkout counter!

Overall several treatments, I received STEM cell and PRP's/HA ( Hyluronic Acid) injections and am up and running again! I highly recommend him for any of your regenerative medicine STEM Cell or PRP injection needs to avoid having invasive surgery. He is a doctor you can trust with over 45 years as an orthopedic surgeon replacing thousands of joints ( hips and knees) in his old life. He has continued to innovate his renegerative medicine methods over the years and helped me stay active . So, wouldn't you rather have an stem cell treatment or PRP injection rather than a joint replacement? I commute from Sacramento to Reno for his treatments and his prices are the lowest I have seen after talking to over 20 doctors. He also does provide phone consultations for free and will be honest about whether or not he thinks he can reallly help you! If he can't, he will recommend a good surgeon that can help should you need a joint replacement. Thank you Dr McClish for keeping me active!
