PA CHEN did the initial, prep and all follow up visits. If you want to have a personal relationship with your surgeon probably go elsewhere, if you want a phenomenal surgeon to fix you spine see Dr. Cyr. That being said, Dr. Cyr is not Jesus, he will do an outstanding job putting your spine back together. But it is up to you to do the work. Follow his instructions, lose the extra weight, walk, rehab, exercise, stretch, etc. The more you put in the better your results will be. I am in better shape at 65 than I was at 55 thanks to Dr Cyr. I still lift 60lb bags of concrete, landscaping blocks, etc. Back surgery is brutal, rehab done right is tough. But the results are so worth it! Dr. Cyr is the man!

Attended by PA Chen, stiff face. Only phrase he said was "I don't think Dr Cyr can do the surgery"…read moretoo long and infection concern. Later another test, which I expected to be explained what it meant and any ideas on how can I do for myself, no explanation, same cold attitude. I asked if I will see Dr Cyr at all, receptionist said yes but I never met him, but sent message, his own PA doesn't think he can do this surgery. I was looking for answers, not necessarily surgery; that I avoid by doing my own therapy

They were extremely helpful, and a pleasure to work with. This is how a business is to be ran, so take your business here. Thank you San Antonio Spine Center!

Dr. Daniel Monsivais was my neurosurgeon. I was in pain that began about 2 1/2 years before I went…read moreto see Dr. Monsivais. Little by little I kept hunching over more and more. I tried Chiropractic, steroid shots, Arosti. Nothing worked. I actually went to an alternative pain clinic several times. One morning after the session I could not get off the table. They had to help me sit on a couch. Some mornings, I could not walk at all. My wife would have to give me pain killers, gabapentin and muscle relaxers before I could move again. I had to stop working August 2025 because I had to drive to work across town and sit at a desk all day. I could not drive if I took the meds and the owner would not let me work from home. I finally sought medical help. I had CT scans, x-rays and MRIs. After a VA Dr. diagnosed me, I was able to choose the Dr. of my choice for the treatment. I found Dr. Monsivais at the recommendation of a friend that works for neurosurgeons in the operating room. She told me that he was very well respected and had a great reputation. It has been 3 months since my operation. I feel like a new person. I do not have any pain, I walk upright and I go to the gym 4-5 times a week. Dr. Monsivais changed my life. He explained what needed to be done and took very good care of me. My spine was pretty much squeezing my nerves shut not allowing me to walk. Again, I feel great now.

Great doctors but their billing department needs help.

I have tried to call - no answer, busy, we will call you back (but don't). I even provided them with the correct code - sent it to them in the mail - and still no correction. It's been a month. Is there anyone in their billing department who is competent or even caring? Please - get it straightened out. Again - the docs are great but billing is lost and sadly, I know I can't be the only one having this issue. If so, they'd at least answer the phone.
