I have had back issues for more than a decade, I had one back surgery elsewhere 7 years ago, while it helped some at the time, I continued to have constant pain that affected every aspect of my life. Two years ago, I met with a surgeon (Not at Rockford Spine) and they refused to do surgery because there was too much scar tissue from the first surgery. I have been to several physical therapy places, and been on several different pain pills and nerve blockers with little to no relief. Being referred to Dr Sliva, and the staff ... read more

Dr. Sliva and his team are some of the most compassionate people I have met in the medical field. Dr. Sliva took the time to ensure I understood what is going on with my condition as well as my treatment options. I was in control of my treatment the entire time; I never felt forced to make a decision I was not comfortable with. I ended up needing to have surgery and felt more comfortable with that decision that I expected. Post-surgery I had regular phone calls with Megan (Dr. Sliva's nurse) to check on my progress and any i... read more

I call Dr. Christopher Sliva's hands 'miracle hands'. After struggling for a year with severe neck pain I woke up from my surgery with that pain completely gone. He's an amazing person, a superb surgeon, very thorough and very easy to deal with. Always answered all my questions, never made me feel rushed. Staff is always very friendly, efficient and kind when dealing with you as well. Receptionists, schedulers, nurses, billing and anyone you have to connect with there is the best. I always had very positive experiences with ... read more

As a healthcare worker myself, I was not looking forward to being on the other side of the bed! Dr. Sliva and his staff took time with me to fully understand and explain my symptoms. When I heard I needed screws and rods (TLIF), I was petrified! But surgery came and went. I walked that very same day and went home with no numbness, tingling, or pain. Dr. Slivas’ strict recovery plan was built to ensure success! I feel amazing and I am excited to have my life back! God willing, this never happens again; but if it does, I will ... read more

I have had back pain for as long as I can remember.. I had pain down both of my legs and could barely sit. I went on vacation and had fallen which ended in me having a horrible herniated disc and numbness down my leg and not able to walk correctly...After seeing Dr. Sliva and him performing an open lumbar discectomy.. My back feels AMAZING!! My numbness is gone & am able to walk normal again! I can not thank Dr. Sliva, Brad Wolf & Nurse Megan enough They are truly the dream team!!
