My surgery:
C4-7 anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion with anterior segmental instrumentation
My experience:
Dr. Scott Stanley, Nicole and the entire AdventHealth surgical team gave me exceptional care before, during, and after my neck surgery.
Dr. Stanley has a rare combination of surgical skill, kindness, humor, and bedside manner. He listened to me, treated me with respect, and helped me feel safe during a very serious surgery.
After surgery, I experienced healing I honestly did not expect. Before surgery, walking and standing had become extremely painful, and I thought I would need lower back surgery before that improved. After my neck surgery, I was suddenly able to walk without feeling like my body was being crushed and without needing a cane or walker.
The care I received from Dr. Stanley and his team was compassionate, professional, and deeply meaningful. I am truly grateful. This surgery gave me hope for my life again, and I would absolutely recommend Dr. Stanley to anyone needing a skilled and caring spine surgeon.
My sincerest thanks to you all.
