Dr. Tibbs has performed surgery on me twice, 13 years apart and in both instances I cannot imagine having a better neurosurgeon. My first surgery was quite involved. I needed to have a lumbar fusion but what didn't show up on my MRI were cysts adhering to my sciatic nerve on both sides. So he performed both nerve surgery and orthopedic surgery. After a normal recovery period I was good to go on with my life without pain and with normal movement. The second surgery, 13 years later, involved a fusion immediately above the form... read more
####ATTENTION: PLEASE READ#### My own experience can help you choose the right doctor - UK has many great doctors - here is my story on why to at least not get stuck with Dr. Phillip Tibbs By my paperwork they knew I had 9 mental disorders. By the cigarette burns seen on the flexibility test - maybe it’d work into Tibbs mind “hey maybe this kid could use some help” but no it somehow went the opposite direction. I stutter because of years of abuse; I did in front of him and he got impatient, raised his voice, threw his hand... read more
Treated me as if I was a number just moving me through. Thought he was my only option. Had back pain he said he could help but now it’s worse. Will never recommend him again. Wish I would have done more research around town.
Five months out from surgery, Fred my cattle this morning and on my way to Louisville for grandparents day. Could not be more pleased with outcome. L3,4,&5 fusion.
He did surgery for malignant chordoma on my lower back. Excellent surgeon; excellent bedside manner and Very caring and concerned.
The nurses were so kind, Dr. Tibbs was the opposite. I waited for 3 hours, he said we just have too many patients and I'm in a hurry. He was extensivextremely ride and i left crying. His nurse even apologized and felt awful. He said I was fine and just needed to lose weight. After a year of referrals and getting into a new Neurosurgeon they found out what was wrong and found Tumors on my spine that Dr. Tibbs apparently missed. I'm now getting the treatments I need. I do not recommend him to anyone no matter what these other ... read more
Dr. Tibbs performed PLIF on me (posterior lumbar interbody fusion) of L4-L5 and excision of synovial cyst due to the condition: Spondylolisthesis. At 6 weeks out, I'm back to walking daily! The nerve pain down my leg was gone immediately after surgery and my back pain is much better. At 48, I was told I was on the younger end for this surgery, but it was absolutely needed and I don't regret it one second. Dr. Tibbs has given me my life back of keeping up with 3 very active children! He is extremely patient, kind, intelligent... read more
