Exceeded my expectations

Dr. Slaughter and his staff made my experience a comfortable one. I was very nervous about having this surgery. As soon as I awoke from surgery the pain from my compressed nerve was gone.

It has been almost three weeks and I feel like I will make a full recovery, after 4-6 weeks of PT.

Overall Good Experience

He was able to explain the issues I am having with my spine, I am trying to still understand what's causing it and he was able to isolate some of the issues I was having with my fingers etc.

excellent surgical results plus pleasant staff & colleagues

As soon as I decided to proceed with the Mobi-C device and made my first call to the office, I was treated professionally and expeditiously to accomplish my goal of pain relief and neck mobility. A previous surgeon recommended fusion of my entire neck so of course this was a far superior solution. Doctor Slaughter and his team was professional, honest, and really great to work with. After approx 90 minutes of out-patient surgery, relief was immediate.

Comforting recovery...

I am extremely grateful for the detailed attention and compassionate treatment. Dr. Slaughter and the entire staff were intricately concerned about my problem and their willingness to fix me was so comforting. I am happy to return to my routine activities and eager to resume the healthier lifestyle I had to cease due to the extreme pain I was in. I am eternally grateful!

Neck pain finally gone

I dealt with pain in my neck and arm from a herniated disc for over 3 years. Found Dr. Slaughter and the Mobi-C and I can't say enough great things about it. I wish I made the decesion for it years before.
