Patient Reviews
Aug 11, 2022
I admire Dr Demers for his professional excellence and, to his credit, hind sight sharpens my perspective. He did not interpret the extent of my emotional disorder in that I am inclined to depression and anxiety. My response may have been atypical. While Dr Demers was indeed honest, he did not seem to be sensitive to my panic which was genuinely indicated. My obsessive research did not guide me toward a decision. I finally made one based on a last minute 2nd opinion that had the benefit of 2 months of speculation to support it. In the end, the surgery went as he had predicted and the outcome of a 3 level ACDF was excellent from day one to day eight at present. None of my fears were manifested and I anticipate my recovery to be excellent. I share this with future patients faced with similar conditions and I declare my experience to be insurmountable from both perspectives. Dr Demers is highly deserving of his excellent reputation and worthy of your trust.
