    Hi there, this is [redacted]. I just wanted to say what an experience I had with, what a great experience I had with both Dr. Michael Mooney and his PA, [redacted]. It was just all around an amazing experience. They were as great as the people that recommended me go see them. And while it's back surgery, I mean, I'm looking forward to, you know, the care that I believe I will be receiving versus the other place that I was, you know, trying to get, to go to. And I just can't thank you guys enough.

    I found the doctor to be exceptionally knowledgeable in telling the findings of my MRI and the other information associated with my situation. I think he was willing to take as long as I needed to make sure I understood what he would recommend as my course of action. And I thought he was very pleasant and very helpful and very just generally warm and made you feel very comfortable.

    Dr Mooney saved my life with my spinal fusion surgery!! I never dreamed I would have very little postoperative pain and could walk with ease the day following my surgery! I never took anything stronger than OTC Tylenol for pain relief after the day of surgery! I came for my consult last year in a wheelchair and now am working out at the gym three times per week!!! He is a life changer!!

    This is the second spine specialist I have seen to determine if I need surgery. He spent more time with me than the other doctor to answer all my questions and ordered a special X-ray to determine the amount of slippage on two vertebrae . His nurse will call me after the X-ray to discuss the findings. He was caring and compassionate.

    Both Dr Mooney and his PA, Samantha, were very good. They listened intently to what I was going through and Dr Mooney carefully reviewed my MRI with us, pointing out the problematic areas in my cervical spine. Dr Mooney then went over my options. He was very polite, respectful, and very knowledgeable. I can see why he has such great reviews. His office staff was also very good. All in all, it was a great experience, and I'm finally going to get some relief from the pain I've been having for years. Highly recommend.

    Well, Dr. Mooney was an excellent surgeon. I thought he was very thoughtful and very sensitive to my needs. I remember coming from the hospital from Salem and there he was, he basically came in to greet me, you know, telling me what was going to happen. I was completely shocked that I had that surgery. He made me feel very, very comfortable about it. And he also talked to my wife directly. I was very appreciative of that. And basically, the medical service is excellent all the way up through the process while I was at the hospital.
