Hours referred to Dr Doss by my Orthopedic hip doctor because my hip and pelvis were out of line with my lower back. When I was at the appointment, Dr Das said that he didn't know why I was sent to him that he didn't work with this part. I told him that I had pain from my neck down through my lower back all on the right side and that the mid-back radiated around to the front through the ribs. He told me that maybe the l4-5 Fusion was infected after 5 years and that might be causing my pain but more than likely not. I tried t... read more

I was referred to Doctor Doss by my orthopedic surgeon. Dr Doss had no idea what my referring surgeon had sent to him. He told me that my pelvis and thoracic spine were not areas that he would deal with. I felt like I was just another body sitting in a room with someone that let everything I said go in one ear and out the other. There was no compassion or concern.

I’ve had a lifelong battle with back pain. Three months ago I decided to have my 3rd spinal fusion by Dr Doss instead of an orthopedic. I had so much nerve pain in my back, butt, hips and legs. Chronic sciatica. Dr Doss repaired L3 and then fused it to the previous fusion of L4-5. Even though I’m riddled with arthritis, within 1 no. Post surgery I was walking normal and driving! I’m 3 months post surgery and have had ZERO neurological pain anywhere! Up until this surgery I could barely stand, walk or sit and even lying down ... read more

My wife recently had spinal surgery. Dr. Doss is a fine surgeon. His practice staff is the worst ever. My wife was discharged with no follow up for home health care. We are both over 70 and I am handicapped. We specifically requested home health care for assistance in bathing, dressing, toileting, etc. Our insurance company said that all of this would be covered, but they need a referral from the doctor. We have suffered two weeks with no help. We’ve gotten nothing but a string of no call backs, no portal responses and bald ... read more

When your PCP refers you to a surgeon you can expect that surgery will be their answer every time but I was surprised when Dr Doss recommended a less invasive approach. Six years later changes in my symptoms did require surgery but even then he recommended the less invasive procedure for the best possible outcome. As a retired nurse who spent most of my career working in the operating room I know other surgeons would have recommended a multiple level spinal fusion where Dr Doss found there was one level that needed to be fus... read more

Dr. Doss is extremely knowledgeable about his work. I believe sometimes dr’s just talk over our heads not realizing that it’s a foreign language to layman ears . Dr Doss is no exception but If you need him to explain things in greater detail he will with a smile and no problem. He has a very cool, calm demeanor which is good if you’re the apprehensive sort. My mother and I had nearly the same type of surgery within 2 weeks of each other she had a different neurosurgeon and I had Dr. Doss, It just seems to me that Dr. Doss’ m... read more

For me to have another spinal surgery in was ready scared of the not knowing. Dr Doss explained everything to where I understood everything clearly. He went over my MRIs and even showed me exactly what he was seeing and how he could correct it. He never once pushed me into having the surgery but did tell all the risks involved and how it could help relieve some of the pain I was having but as with any surgery it's not a guarantee. I would definitely be returning if other problems occurred.
