Patient Reviews
May 11, 2022
I had Dr. Spiro for two major back surgeries in 2007 and 2009. The one in 2007 was a 13-hour surgery and was the worst he had ever seen to that point. He referred to my spine as a trainwreck. I came out of both surgeries in the end fused from L1-S1. I had no spinal pain after both surgeries and Dr. Spiro came often to check on me and make sure I was ok. No one else in the northeast US would touch my back but Dr. Spiro did. He is an amazing Dr. with amazing skill. Very compassionate, caring and wonderful bedside manner. I still do deal with some chronic pain but I am able to function and most importantly walk. He was very honest with me pre and post op about my condition and gave me precise instructions on what I needed to do. I would recommend him to anyone!
