Doctor sleever has definitely saved the quality of my life. I believe I would be mostly paralyzed without him. I have had four spine surgeries with him and recommend him very highly.

If I could give Dr. Sliva 100 stars, I would. The process from my initial appointment through my surgery follow-up was seamless. Dr. Sliva is so professional and caring. He explained everything very well and answered all my questions. I got a folder with information I needed so that I had answers at home. My surgery went great, my recovery was easy, and I am actually looking forward to starting the process again for another area of my spine. I completely trust Dr. Sliva. He really is the best!

I was experiencing severe pain in my head and neck, along with numbing in my hands and left arm. Dr. Sliva removed a bone spur that was adjacent to my spinal cord, freed up a nerve that was being pinched and inserted a bone graph to replace the disc that had worn down. He explained everything in perfect detail and was kind and considerate to my long list of questions. After the surgery I had no pain for the first time in years! I am forever grateful that I was referred to him! Thanks a million!

I have had two fusion surgeries in my neck in the past three years. Both procedures were performed by Dr Sliva. The best thing is once I woke up from both of my surgeries the symptoms were gone. Dr Sliva takes the time along with Bradley Wolf his PA-C to let you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after surgery. Megan, Dr Sliva's nurse takes the time to help with whatever is needed. I am now symptom free and life is good. A big thanks to Dr Sliva and his team.

Many people say the smart thing to do in any case of having a medical procedure done you should seek no less than 2-3 opinions, and I agree fully with this and stand by this. This I must tell you, I did not even think to seek a second or a third opinion do to Dr. Sliva's through knowledge and confidence. Stupid move.? Maybe, but, no. Best decision I could have made. When you go from years of pain, physical therapy, pain medication (list goes on and on) to being almost pain free. Best decision!!

Last month I finally had surgery with Dr. Sliva from the Rockford Spine Center. I had low back pain and pain radiating down both legs for over a year. Physical therapy didn't make it better, and steroid epidurals only helped sometimes. Dr. Sliva did a double TLIF on my lumbar spine, and as soon as I "came to" from the anesthesia, I had no more pain in my legs! Dr. Sliva and his team did a wonderful job. Additionally, he's the kind of physician who really listens and who answers questions.

Dr. Sliva performed Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion on me February 1st. The surgery was a complete success and the pain I had been feeling for months before was totally gone. When I visited Dr. Sliva for my post-op appointment last week prognosis was superb. I would highly recommend Dr. Sliva to anyone with back or neck issues. He is very caring and was easy to understand. He thoroughly explained the surgical procedure and patiently answered all of my questions. Awesome doctor!!

Dr. Sliva has performed multiple surgeries on my mom. The first being about 9 years ago. She recently had been having some trouble and we returned to Dr. Sliva. My mother had a severely pinched nerve causing her a lot of pain. Due to her age we were concerned about her having another surgery. Dr. Sliva went over all of options and recommended the least invasive surgery. Her surgery turned out well. Dr. Sliva, his PA Brad and all of the office is very kind and compassionate.
