Dr. Pingree was highly recommended and I am so fortunate to have had him perform my surgery. I had a C5/C6 and C6/C7 cervical arthroplasty. This was my first surgery and I was fairly uncomfortable and concerned. Dr. Pingree answered all my questions, presented the available options, and made me feel comfortable. He is perfectly arrogant, insanely talented, and a wonderful surgeon. He had me at "I love doing this procedure because I know I can help people". Thank you sooo much!! 100% recommend.

Doctor Pingree was very thorough giving my exam. He explained all of my options and recommended that I follow this Plath of a pain clinic rather than surgery st this time. I really appreciate his honesty. We had a slight wait in the exam room, but Doctor Pingree apologized for his tardiness, he had a patient that took more time. No problem to me. The thorough exam was worth the wait. I would recommend him to anyone.

I was sent to Dr Pingree on an emergency basis for a spinal cord injury. When I arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later he was waiting for me. He viewed my MRIs and prepared a surgery suite! Dr Pingree is personable and pleasant and sat with me describing what needed to be done and the possible outcome. As he took the time to talk to me I felt calm, safe and confident that he could “fix” me. In the past, I swore I would never have spine surgery! Thank you, Dr Pingree, for fixing me!

Excellent physician,easy to talk to and treated me like a human being . Dr Pingree explained well his assessment of the the medical of the problem I had and how I should take care of it. I'm my case he did not rush me for surgery.

I would highly recommend Dr. Pingree to anyone that is experiencing back problems or anything to do with your neck and spine. He is rated one of the top 20 in the nation for neurosurgeons. He cares about his parents and what is bests for them.

I have a complicated problem with damaged nerves in my spine. I saw 2 other doctors who both terrified and confused me. When I go see Dr. Pingree he always sits down and takes time to discuss options and track progress. I really believe he cares about the patient and he gained my trust. The people who work in his office are also pleasant and helpful. I wish all doctor's were this nice.

What a great experience with this Doctor. I originally came for concerns about lower back and possible surgery. Dr Pingree took all the time I need to explain the problems. In the end, he explained that I did not need surgery and gave some great advice and counsel. I would have preferred the surgery and all would have been well. However, my pursuit of answers continues and diagnosis is not promising. I would also comment on the ladies at the front desk were also very helpful and courteous.

Dr. Pingree and his office staff have been wonderful to work with. Their patience and expertise has been phenomenal with all of my surgeries I've known exactly what was going to happen and what the outcome was going hopefully going to be and how long it was going to take to get better. Dr Pingree explained everything in terms that I could understand answered all of my questions he's been very good to work with along with his PA dr. Jonathan Middlemiss.
