Patient Reviews
Apr 01, 2023
I am not one to leave comments, but after reading some of these bad reviews, I felt it necessary to comment. My experience was excellent. I arrived 15 min early for my appointment and was called back on time. I first met with Dr Newell for and EMG. When that was completed I went directly to my follow up with Dr. Tao. He came to the room promptly, was very professional and pleasant. He took the time to talk to me and explain my condition and his recommendations and scheduled a follow up. For all of you that had a different experience, maybe you are not very pleasant yourself. Highly recommend Dr. Tao and the Spine and Neuro Center. Every staff member I interacted with were professional and kind.
