I felt Dr Abernathy listened to my medical history and provided me with the necessary options in a good natured, though direct and efficient manner. He might not be warm and fuzzy but he was pleasant and focused on my options. Surgery went well with quality visits with my spouse and I in the hospital and prompt follow up. His staff was very pleasant on each contact.

Dr Abernathy has performed a disk fusion of C5/C6 in 2005 and a decompression of a herniated disk at T1 in 2022. I am still in recovery mode from decompression surgery but wanted to express my appreciation for his thorough diagnosis of my injury and skilled surgery/treatment of each of my spinal issues. I am three weeks post op and the pain from the impacted nerve has slowly diminished to near normal. For those who are facing this surgery, be patient and let your body heal. There will likely be some nerve pain as t... read more

If you're looking for an old doctor who loves performing surgeries and isn't interested in actually listening to you or helping you, Dr. Abernathey might be right for you. If you're looking for a doctor who is condescending and full of himself, he's definitely your guy! If you want a doctor who offers the latest non-surgical solutions and is willing to make surgery a last resort, I recommend looking elsewhere. He just isn't into that sort of thing. Too old and set in his ways, I guess?

Dr. Abernathey performed my back surgery in December 2020. If you want the best surgeon, you want Dr. Abernathey.

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Abernathy, his office staff and the Mercy medical staff who made my successful discectomy possible. After a month of agonizing pain from a herniated disk, a pain management specialist referred me to Dr. Abernathy (outside our healthcare network), calling him "the best neurosurgeon in IA" Dr. Abernathy explained available options in a straight forward way, answered all our questions and performed a minimally invasive procedure within the same week to resolve my arm numbness and nerve pain! I ... read more

He was rude, short with me and acted as if he didn't have time for the appointment with him. I don't care who thinks he is a good doctor, his bedside manner is extremely unprofessional.

Dr. Abernathy was open straightforward and super skilled. He in deed allowed me to walk in, have the surgery and walk out. Very efficient and professional.
