    If you want doctors that blend expertise, advanced technology, and actual human compassion -- this…read moreis the place to start. I was armed with not one, but two MRIs from other doctors, ready to hear the dreaded "Let's schedule surgery" speech. Instead, I met with a genuine, down to earth, personable doctor that actually listened to all my complaints and I mean all of them lol. Not just "my back hurts," but also my entire medical history. Dr. Desaloms already has my MRIs up on a giant screen ready to review my issues. This office clearly invests in top-notch technology, and it shows. Love his PA Stephanie (extra bonus points for having her in his back pocket!). He's not the kind of neurosurgeon who pushes surgery just because he can. I may need it someday, but right now he's focused on what's best for me. That kind of organic, patient-first approach is rare. The entire staff at Dallas Neurosurgical and Spine, from the front desk, tech, PA to billing -- were exceptional people who obviously enjoy (and love) their jobs!

    I flew to Dallas from Saint Louis to have my 3rd spine surgery with him a c5c6 fusion. He PROMISED…read moremy radicular pain would go away, I'm an RN, u never promise patients anything, u can't know for sure, and what do u know, 15 months post op and my nerve pain is just as excruciating. He called me a anomaly during our telehealth appt, made me feel hopeless, almost 3 yrs now in 24/7 moderate to severe pain and have not been able to work as an RN and i'm actually signing up for VAD in Switzerland, that's how bad this has ruined my life, so be careful... i got a standing mri out of desperation. He didn't care to read it, a secretary said he wasn't obligated to read the mri since he didn't order it and dropped me as a patient after expressing how awful everything was going for me in my life due to this. 15 mo post op c5c6 fusion.... one simple layer... i'll never understand, but i am willing to pay 10k to d13 w VAD because of the debilitating pain i have been suffering in since 35 yo til now 38 yo.... almost graduated NP school, and couldn't, just 3 semesters away.... life i worked so hard for, completely ruined. BSN Oncology RN 10 yrs, can't work and just rot in one chair at my parents' house. i'm 90% chair ridden now and housebound, i dont even shower but every 2wks, dont put makeup on anymore... nowhere to go... i rot here crying all the time in extreme pain that nobody wants to treat.

    I swear she is just trying to bill insurance for as much as she can. She doesnt explain her…read morethinking and basically is looking for something wrong with you. She wants a gazillion of tests and blood tests to look for anything wrong grasping at straws to see what sticks. Thats what it felt like. Also, i swear her medical instruments and the bag she carries them are antiques lol. I feel bad giving such a bad review because she is quite nice and jovial...but it was a terrible experience and nothing good came out of it.

    I saw Dr. Debra Combs Cantrell last year, she was the 5th specialist I saw in a 10 month period…read morethat was recommended to me by another doctor. She is a kind woman, a bit eccentric, I believe at the time I found her cartoonish but I think that was how her voice sounded through the migraines. Here's the thing, she seemed to care and she tried to help me. The biggest issue is that she would schedule our follow ups 2-3 months apart. Had she been willing to see me more frequently I could have wasted less time with her as she was not able to help me. She was the only specialist I saw that prescribed something that had some change in my symptoms but it wasn't fixing them, it was simply changing them and I was not able to improve my quality of life on it. In fact it had a strong physical effect on me that was not healthy. However, I would wait in her freezing room for 40-55 minutes past our appointment times for 15 minutes of consultations and instruction to come back in a very long time. It was disrespectful and she wasn't able to help me. She also insisted on another MRI and MRA even though I had given her the laundry list of testing I had done including 2 other MRIs that she had the results of. This however, seems to be a common practice among all neurologists but makes the patient feel like they aren't being listened to. What did end up being wrong with me was on the MRI but "that's not what neurologists look for." When I was in tears with her about medicines that were not working and that my symptoms were inhibiting my driving ability and I was scared but I had to get to work each day... she told me not to drive anymore... than suggested I drive to places across the state. In fact, it was basically up to me to diagnose myself and when I thought I was on to something and asked her for a referral she basically said that sounded great but she didn't know what to tell me. I was already discouraged and frightened when I started seeing her for my symptoms and I still felt that way when I decided to stop seeing her. I would recommend you consult heavily with your primary care physician before you see any neurologist and there are other ones here but I also recommend you get second and third opinions as this field commonly uses patients as guinea pigs and tell you that you may never know what is wrong with you. That aspect is more the fault of our country's medical care system than her fault. I am giving the second star because her bedside manner and concern were unfortunately a lot higher than 3 of the other specialists I saw. This may not seem like it now but this is a comparison review of the field and there are ones out there that are worse. Her staff was always cordial to me, never had a single complaint there. There are also other neurologists out of this office, I cannot speak to them. There is an MRI facility on site so you can schedule to get one done a lot quicker than at other places.

    The only negative comment that i have about Dr Ward is his disappearance post surgery. After waking…read moreup from major spinal surgery i never saw him again even post surgery appointments, It was always his assistants that came to check on me which was good, but i had questions for the person who did the cutting.. Yes the assistants and PA's answered everything i needed to know but it would have been nice to see him even for a few moments. The care i received at medical City Fort Worth was wonderful and I highly recommend the hospital and Brain and Spine Specialist of Fort Worth.

    I saw Dr. Ward as an emergent situation. I could not possibly have been more impressed! This…read moreneurosurgeon is a rarity. He was patient, answered my questions in REGULAR terms so that I could understand what was being said, is obviously highly intelligent & experienced, and his personable "bedside manner" was excellent! I would not hesitate to recommend this man to anyone in need of a neurosurgeon. Plus, though he will gladly perform surgery, he also recommends non-surgical options so you know you CAN try other treatments that should it not succeed, you can always return. I'm almost 58 years old. I've NEVER done a Yelp review before but this man deserves it. I want others to know this neurosurgeon is out there. Go see him. I assure you. You will be so glad you did.
