Dr Spatola made the incision through my throat to do cervical disc surgery When I woke up I could not talk. The life lasting effects of his surgery paralyzed one of my vocal cords. This has resulted in me being VOICE IMPAIRED for life making it very difficult to talk audiiably. In addition Dr Spatola damaged my thyroid glands w the effect of a diagnosis of HYPOTHYROIDISM. I am on Synthroid daily and have blood tests every three months to regulate my medications It has been necessary for me to use a voice amplifier to communi... read more
I wholeheartedly believe Dr Spatola gave me back my life. I was told for years I had lupus and fibromyalgia and that pain management (opioids) was my only option. I actually did not have either of them. I had bone spurs impinging my spinal cord. I had cervical fusion surgery 5 years ago and I am thankful everyday that I did. I was very confident choosing him as my surgeon.
Dr. Spatola is amazing. I've had 2 back surgeries within a year (lumbar and cervical). He provided all the necessary information prior to surgery; follow-up was great. I would recommend him for any/all back surgery.
When you are in pain and told MRI shows “bulge” in your spine only scary thoughts go through your mind. Dr Spatola went over the MRI with my wife and me, explained treatment options and truthfully provided his expert advice. I walked out of the office feeling relieved and ready to start my PT. His patience, truthfulness, and no nonsense approach was refreshing and appreciated. I know I have work to do to help myself back to my health but also know I have a highly professional neurosurgeon gui
I’m a 26 year old young man that’s L5/S1 disc was badly ruptured 7mm+ protrusion on my sciatic nerve. Dealing with pain for 14 months and being told to deal with it I was referred to Dr. Spatola. Had my first appt and the Dr seemed to care about my well being and wanted to do what was best for me. He got updated imaging and found a solution. Within 2 months was in surgery! Feeling almost 100% and I’m only 14 days post op,He also personally updated my family during surgery So very thankful for Dr
Never would I ever recommend him to anyone. I was worse after his surgery on my back, but he wouldn't even talk to me about anything else that might be done to help. Fortunately, I found a spinal genius in Gainesville (Dr. Cauthen--retired now) that literally saved my life. I also know several others whom Spatola messed up. I also had a friend who died during brain surgery with him--couldn't help but wonder!!
What can I say about Dr. Spatola that would express the gratitude that my wife and I have for this brilliant caring surgeon. Dr. Spatola gave my wife her life back by removing a golf ball size tumor from her brain. Although the tumor was no malignant it was wrapped around the optic nerve of her left eye and the area which registers smell. Dr. Spatola completely removed it without affecting her sight, smell or taste. It has been now over 7 years since the operation and the tumor has not returned.
My mother recently had back surgery a few months ago in which she had a few nerves cut. She is more disabled now than she was before the surgery. The office staff are rude and act like they don't want to be bothered or care that a patient is worse off now than before surgery. You're supposed to help my mother instead you made her worse and drastically decreased her quality of life. Stay away from this dr as his bedside manner is deplorable.
August 204 Dr Spatola performed surgery on my neck, 3 levels with peak and cage. He saw me on a Monday and did surgery on Friday since a slight bump on head could have paralyzed me with my injury. I had suffered debilitating migraines and neck pain from a car accident for years. I also am a nurse and had cared for his patients for years. He and Effie gave me my life back. The most wonderful and professional people you will ever meet. I trust him with my life, a true blessing.
